This paper reflects the result of a drawn challenge of enhancing
the discussion related to the problematic of how to ease the
transition of young engineers from academia to professional life.
How can students be better prepared to face the actual demands?
Can we identify some particular issues that need more attention?
How can the linkage between academia and companies be
strengthened? Several works were presented, reflecting concerns
and sharing experiences: four papers focus on Internship projects;
one papers emphasis the development of more conscientious
professionals regarding laboratory safety; other called attention
regarding modern market demands (necessity for professionals to
integrate fields like computer science, information systems and
computer engineering); and two papers centered on the
importance of motivating young students to science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics.
