This grant focuses on workforce readiness of engineering technicians toprepare them for the workforce of the future. We are accomplishing this by including our Centerfor Workforce Development (CWD) certifications as additional pathways into our occupationalengineering technology (ET) major, enhancing manufacturing experiences within the major, andembedding soft skills training and career exploration throughout our ET program. We haverestructured our ET major to make it more cross-curricular to accommodate diverse industry needs,and

Students were matched with faculty based on their primaryfields of interest, had to work a minimum of 20hrs per week, and were actively involved in theirhost lab routines [3]. We organized a series of workshops on research methods, scientific writing,and career planning discussed in detail in subsequent sections. The program ended with a virtualconference which gave all students the opportunity to present their work and to participate in aresearch presentation contest. We had a total of 21 participants working in 10 different labs.

While only a subset of students reported that theydefinitely wanted to teach and were looking into graduate programs in education, other internsstated that they would consider teaching at some point within their careers.IntroductionSince the 1980s, educational researchers have warned of the shortage of highly qualified scienceand math teachers.1 Currently, the demand for qualified science and mathematics teachersoutpaces the supply, especially in high-need schools.2 The response to this warning has beentwo-fold: to enact strategies to retain teachers3 and to recruit

Unfortunately, only about 15% of CC students declare a major inengineering or computer science [7].Women CC students face particular barriers in pursuing careers in engineering and computerscience.
