skills tolong-term career preparedness. Embedding PBL into capstone experiences may prove to be ameans of improving the experience and outcomes to realize their full potential.2 BackgroundCapstone programs serve as the culminating experience in the undergraduate academic tenure.Building upon cumulative academic courses, they expose students to unstructured problems tofacilitate a smooth transition to professional practice and better prepare them for their futurecareers [13-14]. Capstone programs were initially pioneered in response to perceiveddeficiencies in exposure to professional practice [15]. Consequently, their primary objective is tohelp prepare students for the real world by providing them with opportunities to solve complexopen-ended

ENVIRONMENT DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC CONTINUATION POST COVIDThe covid-19 pandemic brought the traditional in-person student engagement activities to a halt and resultedin the redesign and thinking around student engagement that would still maintain the concepts of HighImpact Practices that includes experiential experiences. The paper will focus on two programs at the CityCollege/City University of New York (CUNY) that were utilized in this process. The first, Career Launchwas designed for CUNY students who have not had an internship, and the second, the Federal Work Study(FWS) program (established in1964) and designed to allow students of lower-income backgrounds to gainwork experience while studying were utilized. The host site was established in

Justice40 mandates that at least 40% of thebenefits of certain federal investments must flow to disadvantaged communities, which DoEdefines as “being marginalized, underserved, [or] overburdened by pollution” [1].These requirements present opportunities for universities to provide undergraduate engineeringstudents with career development pathways within the industries targeted by the IIJA and IRA.The opportunities are particularly well-suited for Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), such asAsian American, Native American, Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs) andHispanic Serving Institution (HSIs).

Introduction1Broadening Participation in STEM (BPiS) is a major initiative funded by the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) in a range of micro-, meso-, macro-, and exo-level programs that span formaland informal education settings for pre-kindergarten thru secondary, undergraduate, graduate,and postgraduate levels, on to transitioning into the STEM workforce as researchers, scientists,engineers, or other STEM professional careers. According to the NSF, “A diverse and capableworkforce is vital to

The goal is to foster a shared understanding of the internship programs in the industryas well as student needs, enabling the department to refine the structure of the internship course,as well as collaborate with companies and student career services, to leverage all the resources andhelp with student success.METHODOLOGYThis study used a survey-based approach to collect in-depth information from both employers andstudents involved in the construction internship programs. The methodology aims to thoroughlyunderstand the perspectives of the two major stakeholders in the internship cycle, identify the gapsbetween their expectations and experiences, and explore potentials for improvement.Employer SurveyThe employer

college, where they engaged in numerous experiential activities,including on-campus research and internships. The overall goal of this defined path was tointroduce the students to potential mentors within technical fields, who might later assist thestudents with their own careers. Rising Scholars students were sent to the Minority EngineeringProgram’s Academic Boot Camp, prior to entering school as freshmen, and they were scheduledfor annual seminars and continuing social events to provide group cohesiveness. While manyelements of keeping the students on the designated path where they could co-mingle withpotential mentors was difficult, finding paid work experience for the students was particularlychallenging.

successful.Building RelationshipsBuilding relationships with students is the foundation of the learning coach role, and it beginsbefore the start of a semester. As a learning coach, adaptation of multiple leadership styles canhelp students grow throughout their education (Facilitator 1). Before the beginning of eachsemester, an introduction meeting is held. Something that Facilitator 2 has found to be helpful isto “begin each semester by sending out a survey to gather information about their career andeducational goals, what they seek in a learning coach, and what interactions with previouslearning coaches/mentors have been successful” (par. 2). This strategy and adaptations of it,such as some start with just asking a lot of questions verbally (Facilitator 5

WIL is considered instrumental in enhancinggraduate employability by improving a range of employability skills (Jackson & Dean, 2023;Patrick et al., 2008), providing opportunities to practice and refine skills in a real worldsetting (Jackson, 2015).

one standard error increase for thegroup after the Fellowship ended. These results suggest that multidisciplinary undergraduatescience communication fellowships with a cohort model may increase students’ confidence andself-efficacy in research. Other qualitative successes included students continuing theirextracurricular involvement in career-focused work after the program ended. The next step forthis research study is to conduct interviews with the students from prior cohorts to gainadditional insight into the potential broader impact of the program on student’s confidencewithin academia and in preparation for their future profession. We will continue to collect surveydata on future cohorts to grow our data set and get a more comprehensive
