The primary goal of these opportunities is to give Southwest Oklahomamiddle school, high school, and community access to enrichment programs that increase theirinterest in engineering and mathematics careers and attract them to majors in engineering andmathematics. It is imperative that middle and high school students learn to apply engineeringand mathematics prior to entering college. It is equally important that students feel confidentand comfortable on a college campus

report outlines the following factors as contributing to the shortage of youngadults and other participants interested in pursuing manufacturing careers: • A lack of communication between the potential workforce, manufacturers, educational institutions, and regional community • Parents and schools are not encouraging students to pursue careers in manufacturing • School counselors rate the quality of information available to them as fair to very poor • Manufacturing still has a negative (outdated) stereotyped image Additionally, economic briefings by academic and professional policy analysts continue torecommend that Indiana shift its economic focus away from “…manufacturing goods toproviding

Engineering Management

Management to High School StudentsIntroductionAttracting students to Engineering Management as a major and as a career field hasalways been challenging. One aspect of the problem is the difficulty in explaining tostudents in simple and clear terms just what Engineering Management is. Despite its wellknown reputation, including its place as the founding department in the field and beingABET accredited, it is unusual for an incoming freshman student at the University ofMissouri – Rolla (UMR) to have much understanding of the Engineering Managementand Systems Engineering (EMSE) Department or its Engineering Managementundergraduate major. The other key aspect of the problem is the general decline ininterest in Engineering. Yankelovich1 reports that in

earliest encounters with the question, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” wehave identified ourselves in professions that are relatively familiar – doctor, lawyer, teacher,firefighter, etc. Perhaps this stems from the fact that we have a favorite teacher, or firefighting isperceived to be an exciting career. Careers in medicine and the legal profession have beenlauded via television – for almost as long as the medium has existed – as possessing theexcitement, as well as material and altruistic rewards, that one seeks from a career. Who wouldnot want to be involved in saving someone’s life, or bringing justice to someone who haswronged another – and make a lot of money doing it?Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the engineering

What are characteristics of engineering students who are pursuing business minors, concentrations, and certificates? 2. Are these students more likely to be involved in entrepreneurship-related and other extra- and co-curricular activities than are other engineering students? 3. Do these students have higher (or lower) innovation self-efficacy than do other engineering students? 4. Is there a difference in career goals between these students and their peers

Within the College of Applied Science and Technology, the engineering technology (ET) programs are administered by three departments: Civil, Electrical/Computer/Telecommunications, and Manufacturing/Mechanical Engineering Technology. The programs have a (headcount) enrollment of approximately 1,250 students, or almost 10% of the RIT enrollment. RIT’s ET baccalaureate programs were started in 1970 for transfer students only, and the first class graduated in 1973. The original programs used the Bachelor

This paper proposes a solution to this dilemma:preparing and certifying engineering students for careers in K-12 education. It describes a pilotproject at the City College of New York (CCNY) which is encouraging engineering students toconsider teaching as career. Finally, the paper outlines efforts to develop new pathways to teachercertification designed specifically for recent engineering graduates, as well as engineers returningfrom industry to education.
