, 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

Because there are relatively few institutions in the United States that offer comprehensivenaval architecture programs, there is an opportunity for smaller programs to help meet the needby developing quality curricula on Navy-related S&T subjects, and to make students aware ofpotential careers in this area.The program discussed in this paper has been developed at the University of Iowa, whichprovides unique challenges for attracting students with interest in naval science & technology. Itis therefore important to cultivate that interest through exposure to relevant curricular topics andengineering challenges. In addition, due to the limited faculty

Introduction The traditional engineering graduate school experience involves taking courses, selectinga dissertation or thesis advisor and project, performing the research under the advisor’ssupervision, and completing and defending the dissertation. Such an experience trains graduatestudents to carry out research on a problem someone else has defined and gotten funded. It doesnot, however, prepare them for anything else they might be called upon to do in graduate schooland in their professional careers, including: • Teaching assistant responsibilities.
