students pursue IE as a career option.Recent engineering enrollment data from Iowa State University provides empirical evidence ofthis lack of awareness. As illustrated in Figure 1, the percentage of undeclared engineeringstudents choosing to major in IE after arriving on campus is much higher than those choosing IEdirectly upon arrival on campus. In contrast, the values of these two metrics tend to be similar formore familiar disciplines, such as mechanical and electrical engineering.Figure 1: Percentage of high school graduates’ vs undeclared freshmen choosing to major in IE.Previous research has shown that K-12 students’ awareness of a STEM discipline impacts theireventual selection of that discipline as a career option [2].

Undergraduate researchprovides students with many benefits, including improved critical thinking and communicationskills, practice working with real-life problems and solutions, engagement with mentors andfaculty, and an increased knowledge of disciplinary focus [5], [6]. Undergraduate researchallows students to practice creativity, innovation, and problem solving, and is more likely tobetter prepare students for the workforce than passive pedagogy, like traditional lectures [5].Increased self-confidence has been identified as an additional benefit of

Such experience allows students andinstructors to collaboratively bridge the research and classroom and provide research experiencesfor students relative to traditional individual mentored research. Undergraduates who are involvedin research report cognitive gains such as a) learning to think and analyze, b) affective gains suchas delight, c) psychosocial gains such as belonging to a team, identifying as an effective engineer,and d) behavioral gains such as motivations to pursue graduate education or careers in engineering(Laursen et al., 2010; Lopatto and Tobias, 2010).Studies of undergraduate research experiences have been criticized for some reasons such ascounting on students to convey their own knowledge and skill gains, applying

In addition, resumes are improved by using additional relevantkeywords employers seek, which are detected by SMS. SMS has assisted in increasing thenumber of students that graduate with a job offers and in the course's goal of helping studentsobtain careers.The analysis presented in this paper shows that SMS can benefit various stakeholders, such asuniversities, students, employers, and recruiting firms. Universities will have a betterunderstanding of the job market and will be able to improve the education of their students withthe evolving job market. Students will be more qualified and better prepared for the job

-Marcos School ofEngineering at the University of San Diego is working to produce and disseminate a model forredefining the engineering education canon with the goal of developing “ChangemakingEngineers.” One of the strategies for achieving this goal is to infuse traditional engineeringclasses with new materials that address this changemaking theme. The goal is for students todevelop the same fundamental skills that they currently acquire, but to see better how these skillscan be applied to problems and situations that don’t appear in traditional textbooks. This greaterperspective will encourage some students to pursue non-traditional career paths, and other topractice with greater awareness of the impact of engineering on society.In Fall 2017

Inparticular, early career engineers believe that “engineering work is much more variable andcomplex than most engineering curricula convey” [2]. Successful engineering, in practice, isdriven by the skills necessary to solve open-ended, ill-structured problems, such as problemformulation, communication, people management
