 Abstract – Students have often reported feeling unprepared for career planning, development and decision-making. The open-ended nature of career development may be analogous to the design space, and may therefore benefit from the application of the engineering design process. This teaching practice report discusses the authors’ experience implementing a seminar in an engineering program, which guides students to apply the engineering design process to their career development. The application of the design process to student career development may improve students’ confidence and success by reframing the problem into a structure that they are already proficient with.

Academic Year

In the 2012-2013 academic year McMaster’s University School of Engineering Technology (SET) introduced a Professional Workplace Practices course (GENTECH 2PW3) within the Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) Program. The course uses an experiential learning approach to instill key employability skills required to successfully participate and progress in today’s dynamic engineering and technology organizations. It is a second year academic prerequisite before a student can commence the B.Tech Program mandatory 12 month coop work experience. The course is delivered and supported by a multidisciplinary team that includes faculty members, career development practitioner, who serve as instructional assistants, and the McMaster Engineering Career and Coop Services (ECCS) department. For the purposes of knowledge sharing, this paper will discuss the GENTECH 2PW3 course structure, delivery, administration, and outcome results for 470 students from the last three cohort years.
