I am having trouble to understand this sentence. Why is どのように here? I looked it up on some dictionaries, but I couldn't get it. I have the same problem with か. Why are those words in the sentence below?

会社でどのように働くかしっかり考える学生が増えているようです。

  • It seems that the number of students, who seriously think of how to work in a company, is increasing. We call this as embedded question. 誰が僕のミルクを飲んでしまったか全然分からないんですよ。 – Second Person Shooter Mar 01 '17 at 17:15
  • My question was not about translation. Could you answer it? – Dav7n Mar 01 '17 at 17:17

We call 会社でどのように働くか as an embedded question (EQ).

会社でどのように働くか is an embedded question that becomes an object of the verb 考える and を is usually dropped.

  • 会社でどのように働くか考える学生 means students who think of how to work in a company.

  • 会社でどのように働くか考える学生が増えている means the number of students who think of how to work in a company is increasing.

  • 会社でどのように働くか考える学生が増えているようだ means it seems that the number of students who think of how to work in a company is increasing.
