The workshop hadthree objectives, namely: 1) raising awareness to Boyer’s model of scholarship in highereducation; 2) applying Boyer’s model to evaluate participants’ own work; and 3) leadinginstitutional change by sharing Boyer’s model back home. To achieve these objectives,four activities were undertaken, including: 1) pre-conference review of educationalmaterials introducing Boyer’s model (view a video and share on a discussion board); 2)on-site expert testimony clarifying Boyer’s model (brief lectures by four speakers); 3) on-site hands-on, small-group work (employing career cartography to achieve

tounderstand what a Ph.D. does in academia, which might discourage them from considering thecareer as a choice. Furthermore, the few who know they want to work in academia may not knowwhether they want to be a teaching-oriented professor or a research-focused professor. Anestablished job shadowing program allows students to decide what is best for them and their futurecareers and consider pursuing a Ph.D. as a valid career choice. A consequence of establishing aprogram like this could be that more students are encouraged to pursue Ph.D. programs,particularly individuals who are underrepresented in academia. This paper presents the results ofreviewing the existing literature on job shadowing programs, analyzes the effects of theseprograms across

Inthe last twenty years, many educators and researchers have worked to develop strategies andprograms to increase the participation of women in STEM careers. Research shows that strategicintervention at the middle school-level can have great impacts on female students’ perspectivesof careers in STEM fields.

Middle school years are prime years of career awareness, especially when students seeadults in STEM careers; it resonates with them and piques their interest [3,4]. Moreover, whenstudents engage in authentic hands-on activities and can see applications of STEM in their lives,it further motivates them to pursue STEM careers [3]. Therefore, keeping the research in mind,Introduction to Research and Innovative Design in Engineering (iRIDE) was initiated in thespring of 2019 for middle school students as an after-school extracurricular club followed by asummer academy to stimulate their interest in engineering.

Research suggeststhat this is partly due to women voluntarily choosing not to pursue an engineering educationbecause their main motivators (e.g., personal fulfillment, societal benefit) do not match theirperception of engineering careers [3], [4]. Consistent with these assertions, women earn an equalproportion of undergraduate degrees in certain engineering subfields that have an explicit goal ofimproving societal outcomes (e.g., biomedical engineering) [2].
