Finally, over 75% plan to continue their research beyond thesummer and pursue graduate school.IntroductionMotivationIn 2018, record numbers of students applied to internal research funding for summer researchprograms at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Due to the one-on-one mentoring andcollaborative environment at Rose-Hulman, research experiences provide quality learningopportunities for students to improve critical thinking skills and prepare for future careers inresearch or industry. However, students may be the sole student working on a research projectsuch that the work can be lonely, and faculty have the burden of training an undergraduate student– in many cases an underclassman – to perform research in

Entrepreneurial Intentions and Actions of Engineering Graduates: What contributes to increase intentions and continued entrepreneurial skill developmentAbstractSome engineering graduates have the intention to become entrepreneurs. To bring this kind ofintention to reality, graduates need additional skills beyond their engineering knowledge by thetime they start their entrepreneurial career. In this paper we analyze Entrepreneurial Intentionsof engineering graduates and explore the impact of activities to convert intentions into actions.Furthermore, we investigate what entrepreneurs were already doing as students in order to gatherrelevant skills for starting a venture.

In particular, she is interested in supporting science teachers’ reform- based instruction while simultaneously understanding their beliefs. As science classrooms shift to more integrated STEM approaches, this is especially critical. Additionally, Dr. Dare has a passion for working with K-12 students to understand how changes in classroom instruction impacts their attitudes towards and beliefs about STEM fields.

]found that in the STEM majors only 58% of students remain in those fields at the end of theirfreshman year. While there are numerous reasons for this attrition, it is likely that a part of theproblem is that first–year engineering students may not have an accurate understanding of theskills necessary for a successful career in engineering. Similarly, these first year students come tothe career with different motivations.
