Statement or Program GoalsThe final organizational method was based on mission statements, or if unavailable, the goals ofthe outreach programs. Three themes were observed: ● A focus on real-world applications or the use of practical applications in class ● To influence the career decisions of those that partake in the program ● To improve teacher knowledge in STEM to thus improve its instruction to K12 students.Results and DiscussionAs shown in Figure 1, just under half (44%) of the papers targeted high school students. K12teachers were the next most targeted group (24%) followed by middle school (16%), high schooland middle school (12%), and lastly elementary school (4%). By gender, 75% of middle schooloutreach programs were targeted at

Faculty are not only expected to teachand conduct research but also to write proposals, consult, network, engage in administrative duties, andthe list continues. The relative importance and time allocated to these different functions vary accordingto the nature and focus of the institution and the interests of the faculty. However, engineering graduatestudents aspiring to careers in academe are not usually trained in the multiple facets of the profession. Asa result, when they become faculty members they often struggle to find ways to balance the parallel andmany times competing demands of these functions.This paper examines the professional development plans of six engineering

It consists of five different modules: Financial Planning, Effective Job Hunting,Accelerating Your Career, Learning Never Stops, and Entrepreneurship. Modules utilizemethodologies from experiential learning theory to enhance student learning and contribute tothe body of knowledge of teaching methods in STEM.An initial assessment was performed to measure the impact of this course and its modules.Metrics

Classic work within this Expectancy-Value framework (e.g., Eccles et al., 1983) hasexamined this relationship for decades on primarily non-engineering students (e.g., math andbiology, Eccles, 1984; Wigfield & Eccles, 1992; Sullins, Hernandez, Fuller, & Tashiro, 1995).Until relatively recently, the focus of expectancy-value research has centered predominately onthe “expectancy” side of the theory (and has extended into other theories such as social-cognitivecareer theory, Lent
