performed a 2-phaseenergy literacy infrastructure study (data collected in 2019-2020, analyzed over 2020-2021)across high schools in Nebraska. While this was initially funded by the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) CAREER Award only, considering the scope and significance of this work,Nebraska Center for Energy Science Research (NCESR, funded by Nebraska Public PowerDistrict (NPPD)) and the UNL Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering offeredtheir kind support to this project. The next step was addressing the identified needs by designing © American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 2024 ASEE Midwest Section Conferencedata-driven STEM activities focused on sustainable energy

.[36], through an investigation into the roles of faculty mentors in an undergraduate researchexperience, grouped their mentoring styles as laissez-faire, democratic or autocratic, while Ralphand Walker [37] developed the adaptive mentoring model for undergraduates in engineering,nursing and education context.Mentoring is an essential component of the undergraduate research experience [31], [36], [38].Mentored undergraduate research has been identified as an high impact practice that enhancesteaching and learning in higher education [5]. It influences student outcomes [5] and leads totheir development of a professional identity [22], [27]. The extent of progress that undergraduateresearchers attain in the research process is largely influenced

was selected because Deloitte is a key playerin the transformation for manufacturers and the consolidation of their enterprise resourceplanning (ERP) systems if desired. Deloitte’s comprises of three broad phases: getting your focus right, getting the rightconcept and finally getting the business to scale [13]. For a transformation to be successful;innovation, human centered design, digital technology, overall leadership, and risk managementmust be interwoven using creativity, strategy, connection, and an adaptable approach [13]. The action steps of the framework put forward by Deloitte are broken down in theImagine, phase, deliver phase and the run phase. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2024

The answer is no and, according to the NationalAcademies [3], has been no for several years. Why? Choe and Borrego [4] note thatengineering faculty have a greater familiarity with academia over industry and even tend to pushtheir students toward coveted positions at research universities.

large contextual projects as part of their coursework) contributed to the developmentof a professional identity amongst recent graduates. Similarly, for undergraduate students, designexperiences [24], participating in technological innovation competitions [25], enjoyment ofelements of professional engineering practice [26], and engagement in engineering-relatedactivities [27] predicted undergraduates’ engineering identity.A sense of belonging is more associated with positive social and relational experiences. Bothformal and informal mentoring, especially for underrepresented students, were important forfostering belonging [11, 28, 29]. Peer mentors with the same identities as mentees could beespecially effective [30, 31]. Actions of faculty
