Employer and STEM Core Student Interactions Because STEM and technology employers traditionally recruit engineering internsexclusively from four-year colleges, they are used to meeting interns in-person for the first timeon their first day. As UW’s National Survey of College Internships reports (Joy, 2022), theaverage distance from a student’s home to an in-person site for internship was 331 miles. As stated, many employers are new to working with Community College students and donot see community colleges as producing the skills their company needs. With this in mind,Growth Sector and the STEM Core Network have worked deliberately with employers todevelop opportunities for employers to meet STEM Core students prior to an

Studentsacross racial/ethnic identities expressed that they like how diverse South University (pseudonym)is and how diversity is valued and celebrated at the university. For several students, this playedan important role in their college selection. A Mexican American male student shared, “I feelcomfortable knowing that as someone who is Hispanic that my culture is reflected in the valuesthat South University has. … I definitely feel at home here. I don't feel discriminated against or aminority whatsoever.” When asked about what he likes about the university, a white malestudent majoring in mechanical engineering said, “The first thing that came to mind was thediversity … It’s more

There is great potential for more fully participatory studies in engineering education,and we hope other researchers keep these possibilities in mind when designing their studies.We conducted this study with two members of an interdisciplinary team and learned how I-poems can work as a tool to express researcher identity.

While for some students the trustworthiness of an academic might besufficient, other students may expect you to cite your sources, especially with regards tocontentious or novel topics. This helps present the information as being more than just youropinion, assisting students with the evaluation process.Additionally, in areas of Engineering that might be more subjective (such as ethics andprofessional skills) it can be helpful to acknowledge that reasonable minds can come todifferent conclusions based on the same set of facts.
