Though personal andfamilial transitions were also occurring, the scope of the research is major professionaltransitions initiated by an engineering faculty member (e.g., change in institution, change indepartment, change in role title or type), rather than those related to tenure and promotion,administration, and retirement. Existing studies of faculty transitions tend to focus on careerprogression for tenure-track faculty members, transitions into the academy, transitions into thediscipline of

The program was structured by annually forming 11-12 mentoring circles,each containing three mentors (most typically, one member who was a member of the ArkansasAcademy of Chemical Engineers and graduated at least 20 years ago, and two other alumni whograduated 5-10 years ago) and 4-6 students that are all in the same year of school. Studentparticipation in the program is voluntary and just under 50% of our students participate annually.Following the program kick-off soon after school starts in the Fall semester, the circles averagefour mentoring events during the Fall semester, followed by a final Program

This study examines potential associationsbetween gender and students' motivations for joining the construction program, the obstaclesthey encounter, their expectations, and their future career plans. Data from all first, second, andthird-year students in the Building Construction Science (BCS) program at Mississippi StateUniversity were collected using a quantitative survey. The survey covered different aspects ofstudents’ experiences and decisions. The results showed that both male and female students wereattracted to the program because of job opportunities, relatively high salary, and the challengingnature of the program.

In addition, semi-structured interviews wereconducted with 22 campers to explore how the camp experiences altered attitudes toward STEMstudy and impacted their career interest. Interview findings indicated (1) campers hadopportunities to develop STEM, robotics, and programming knowledge through various hands-on activities which made the camp fun and interesting, (2) teamwork and single-gender learningenvironment helped campers become more open to STEM subjects, and (3) coding andprogramming were two major themes in miniGEMS that

However, acareer in Technical Sales is not a traditional choice for women, thus leaving the femaleundergraduates apprehensive about their career goals.

In addition, there is the difficulty of goodarticulation agreements that ensure seamless transfer of two year’s worth of engineering classes betweenTYC’s and universities. A few states, in fact, by law make such transfer impossible.However, the opportunities for increased recruitment of both traditional and under-represented groups tothe educational track leading to an engineering career that are afforded by the community colleges of thisnation may be too large to continue to ignore.

A main objective of the projectwas to identify ways to make the fields of math and science more attractive to females or identifythose issues that discourage females from following a career path in math and science so that theycan be avoided. Each university used different methods to address the InGEAR theme. At Georgia Southern University (GSU) yearlong workshops for faculty and academicsupport personnel were developed to address different elements of the project.
