) skills like being able to lead a team and proficiencyin change management are central to career advancement. This difference in perspective existsbecause entry level engineers are novices while senior engineers are experts. The goal of thisstudy is to identify how the transition from the novice stage to the expert stage can be expedited.To do so, the researchers will be interviewing engineers at six different aerospace companieswith four to twelve years of work experience who fall somewhere between the expert and novicestages. Interview questions will cover what challenges they faced entering the workplace, howthey tackled them, and what made them feel like engineers during this process. Theseinterviewees were chosen because they have graduated

This highlights the necessity for targeted programs that facilitate veterans'transition into hardware security and STEM careers.`In response to the pressing need for skilled hardware security professionals, this projectdeveloped an innovative experiential learning program: Veterans SkillBridge through Industrybased Hardware Security Training and Education (VETS-HASTE). Grounded in cognitiveapprenticeship theory, VETS-HASTE addresses the specific needs of hardware security,emphasizing hands-on engagement, real-world problem-solving, and mentorship fromexperienced professionals

declines. The decrease in student population, which consequentlyresults in more intense competition among institutions to attract students, motivates academicadministrators to find ways to increase enrollment. This study explores factors that influencedBCS students to choose the program despite strong regional competition. A quantitative approachwas employed to collect data on various aspects, including drivers, obstacles, expectations, andfuture career paths. All first, second, and third-year BCS students participated in the survey.Results indicated that family-inspired factors, job opportunities, and the nature of the programwere among the important influencers, while social perceptions, work situations, and lack ofaccurate advising were

personal andprofessional settings. Another example is the ‘Professional Continual Learning’ module in ECEGR 3710, a spring quarter course forstudents in their junior year. It is at this point that many students begin thinking about post-graduation pathways and exploringopportunities to strengthen their career preparedness. Finally, ECEGR 4870, the first course in a three-quarter senior design (capstone)sequence and a key touchpoint before students enter the workforce, seemed well-suited for the ‘Social Responsibility’ and ‘Bias andMicroaggression’ modules.Table 1: Pilot Implementation Plan for AY 2024-25.

the need for innovative discoveries increases in the US, there is a concomitant increased needfor postdoctoral researchers to contribute to advancing STEM [1, 2]. Postdoctoral scholarappointments have increasingly been considered informal requirements for research careers inthe industry, government, and non-profit sectors [3,4]. Further, many tenure-track faculty inSTEM fields were previously postdoctoral researchers [5]. Postdoctoral positions are commonlyviewed in academic and non-academic research-focused areas as an ideal environment forprofessional research training, skill development, and mentorship in preparation for a researchcareer. While the National Science Foundation-funded projects provided 90% of STEM postdocsin 2009, there was
