While only a subset of students reported that theydefinitely wanted to teach and were looking into graduate programs in education, other internsstated that they would consider teaching at some point within their careers.IntroductionSince the 1980s, educational researchers have warned of the shortage of highly qualified scienceand math teachers.1 Currently, the demand for qualified science and mathematics teachersoutpaces the supply, especially in high-need schools.2 The response to this warning has beentwo-fold: to enact strategies to retain teachers3 and to recruit

Our research goals were to study the students’ learning and anyimpacts on the companies’ practices; in particular, how new communication skills, tools,symbols, concepts, and procedures disseminated in both directions. Open-ended surveyresponses from the years 2017, 2018, and 2019 were analyzed using the constant comparisonmethod to allow themes to emerge from the data. The analysis of these data shows 1) Throughthe design and prior training of workers, it generated a psychologically safe learningenvironment for students in companies. 2) students recognize they establish a clear connectionbetween the objectives of the

Typical reasons cited for leaving the university include lack of awareness ofacademic support resources, sense of belonging, the uncertainty of best practices to succeed incollege, etc. This one-week residential RAMP program was created to fill this void by engaging inextensive team-building activities, exposure to academic resources on campus, networkingactivities with college peer mentors to learn best practices, and overall obtaining a jump-start oncollege. The ideas was to instill a sense of belonging among students, aid in improving the first-to second-year retention, and increase the number of graduating students in engineering disciplinesoverall.

The complexity of modern technology and the sophistication ofcurrent knowledge and procedures makes it impossible for any single individual to know and doeverything; assistance from others is essential in virtually every engineering endeavor. Page 7.909.1It is vital that engineering graduates both understand the nature of, and be able to function in,team situations. As a result, engineering education must include a significant number ofexperiences that impact students in ways that build awareness and skills in teaming. There aremany formats in which this can be done. Teams
