, and pre-engineering university students (those who are required totake foundational courses before being admitted to an engineering program) may not have accessto someone who is able to clearly articulate how applications of early science and math coursesconnect to engineering careers. For many students interested in pursuing engineering, the “why”of the course is important. When students fail to see the connection between the material they arelearning and their career interest, they may lack motivation to learn the material, thus hinderingtheir performance in future engineering curriculums, or they may choose not to pursueengineering altogether, thus contributing to the “leaky pipeline” in STEM. Therefore, it isessential to support students

Education in the U.S. does not emphasizethe clean energy or environmentally friendly behavior, so many students do not see these jobs asa potential career path or even know they exist.Education plays a critical role in helping the United Nations reach its Sustainable DevelopmentGoals (SDGs) [2]. Environmental education begins with giving children access and opportunitiesto build a relationship with nature, learn about environmental issues and the need for cleanenergy, develop important skills for the clean energy workforce, and inform them of the jobs andcareer paths in clean energy

Implementing Project Management Skills Training Through Thesis Research Within STEM Graduate EducationScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) graduate education traditionallyhas focused on developing technical and research skills needed to be successful in academic andresearch settings. In the past decade, however, STEM graduate students increasingly have soughtpositions in the industry [1]; a recent study by Sherman et al. [2] found that non-academicindustry jobs were the most preferred career choice for STEM doctoral students. Despite thispreference, graduate education has yet to adapt to better prepare students for their industrypositions; a significant portion of students need critical professional skills, such as

This can lead students to make a more informeddecision regarding engineering as a potential career path.

Evidenceindicates that traditional STEM curricula and instructional methods are not serving all studentswell [2]; specifically, too few underserved and unrepresented students such as Hispanics aregraduating from high school prepared to begin a STEM degree program or career [3]. A majorobstacle to engagement and motivation in middle-grade STEM education is math anxiety, whichcan be a key barrier to STEM achievement and career choices [4][5

]. Studies show thatwhile parents have significant influence on students’ interest in STEM, both parents and friendshave significant influence on students’ career choice intention [6]. Role models can be apowerful influence on the way students view themselves and how they conduct their lives [5].In this study, male and female students’ interest in STEM was examined and its connection tothe presence of role models. Data was collected from summer outreach camps from 2017 to2022, although, because of COVID-19, years 2020 and 2021 are not included. These camps weredesigned to increase interest in STEM.

Critically, studies have shown students transition from interest in engi-neering, to seeing engineering as an option, and finally choosing to become an engineer in avery short period of time [6]. Additionally, short interventions (like a one-day versus multi-day experience) have been shown to have similar outcomes for attracting diverse students totechnology careers [7]. We envision our intervention operating as a vicarious experience [8],which enhances self-efficacy.In robotics, research from educators indicates that robotics education has a unique opportu-nity to promote diverse participation, including meaningful applications, tactile robotic sys-tems, and well scaled projects.
