with engineeringoutreach activities to enhance the learning experience of the students enrolled in an engineeringcourse (EGR 299 S course). The objective was to improve the retention of underrepresentedengineering students (majority at CPP) by providing them with opportunities to use theirtechnical engineering skills and by providing them with opportunities to work in diverse andmultidisciplinary teams (building confidence in their knowledge) in order to build relationshipswith K-12 students and to motivate the K-12 students to pursue STEM fields.Introduction to CPP engineering programsCal Poly Pomona is a four-year institution well-known by the diversity of its student population(0.2, 23.6, 3.3, 38.9, 0.1, 19.7, 3.9, 4.4 and 5.7 % of American

faculty lead would likely improve the likelihood of success of the project and courses. With the demands of research and other faculty obligations, it may be convenient for a faculty member to become dis-engaged. Similar to the roles of the students, a deliberate definition of this role clarifies the chain of command for both the faculty and students involved.References1. McKenzie, L. J., Trevisan, M.

spring of 2017. The Historical Society director wanted to show the shift from flour milling topaper milling on the Fox River that occurred at that time. So, the class was ‘hired’ to makeinteractive exhibits that demonstrated how an 1870’s flour mill worked.It was a unique opportunity for the class, because they were able to interact with a client,including touring the space, creating prototypes, having the client request design changes, andfinally building the exhibit. Partnering with the students also helped the Historical Societyreceive two local community grants to support the exhibit. At the end of the semester, thedirector of the Historical Society reviewed the student projects and accepted 4 of the 5 projectsfor inclusion in the exhibit

demographics and trends in the labor market continue to remain an unwaveringissue. Currently, there is a demand in the U.S. to produce qualified students, both at the K-12 andpostsecondary levels with suitable STEM transferable skills and a knack for scientificexploration and innovation through engineering design to aid in the growth and enrichment ofthe U.S.’s economy. In 2004, the National Science Foundation noted that half of the economicgrowth within the U.S. over the past 50+ years is credited to the scientific innovation of theSTEM workforce, which represents a minute 5% of the overall U.S. workforce.1 In order to strengthen the K-12 STEM pipeline and workforce, investments in outreachand student development are continually being

, and to what extent are they interested in impact-driven work?2.2 Impact-Driven Interest as a Career ChoiceThere are many capacities in which one may address societal challenges, e.g. as a volunteer,employee, and/or founder. To narrow the scope, the current study explores how engineeringundergraduates consider addressing societal challenges as a career choice.In the early 1990’s Robert Lent proposed a model of career choice called Social CognitiveCareer Theory (SCCT, see Figure 1) that provides a framework for understanding, explaining,and predicting the processes through which people develop occupational choice (Lent & Brown,2006; Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994). The SCCT model has been shown to be useful inpredicting career choice
