career readiness andretention in full time roles are addressed by providing students with work experiences thatinclude challenging technical assignments, engineering mentors, and responsibilities that mimicwhat one would expect in an engineering full-time position. Although some existing partnershipsprovide similar experiences, we offer professional socialization as a framework to consider theimpact experiences have on career readiness and retention outcomes throughout a partnership’slife cycle.In this paper, we describe how an existing partnership model, the Academic to IndustryDevelopmental Program (AIDP), informs professional socialization in the aerospace industry.We first expand our discussion of professional socialization as it relates to

?1.0 Literature Review1.1. Importance of Manufacturing in Florida.Florida is ranked top 10 among the nation for manufacturing and home to 20,500 manufacturersas of the second quarter of 2018 [3]. Florida produces a wide variety of goods including food andbeverage, communications equipment, aerospace products, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors,and more. Its transportation infrastructure includes over 20 airports, 15 deepwater seaports,3,000 miles of freight rail tracks, and 2 spaceports giving the industry many options for movingand exporting products [4]. Florida ranks 45th among the 50 states in terms of the industry’scontribution towards its own GDP, although it’s low ranking among other states inmanufacturing can be misleading. Florida is

For example, Ciudad Juárez was thesite of the first maquiladoras, which are foreign-owned factories where imported parts areassembled for export purposes. Ciudad Juárez boomed with the arrival of these factories, firstdoing simple tasks like sewing jeans and sorting coupons, but now thriving in much moreadvanced industries like aerospace, electronics, and autos. El Paso and southern New Mexicoalso benefit from this growth, sometimes as suppliers but

three to five years to complete the master‟s program.Most of the students in the graduate programs have bachelor‟s degrees in engineering. However,some have degrees in science, mathematics or engineering technology and some have liberal artsdegrees. The result is a built-in multi-disciplinary nature of the programs and of the individualclasses.These students work for a wide range of companies in the metropolitan Minneapolis/St. Paularea. Some work for large technical companies like 3M, Medtronic, Honeywell, LockheedMartin and Goodrich Aerospace; others for companies not thought of as technical such as Target,Prudential Insurance and US Bank; and many are employed by smaller manufacturing

can this be done? In our interviews with alumni, wewitnessed this being done at high levels in some organizations, but more frequently at muchlower levels. The more that leadership and culture change is championed by top managementthe better, but it doesn‟t need to wait for the „boss‟. One case from our interviews gives a goodexample. Dan Jansen (1994) recalls his first significant leadership role in industry. He was a manufacturing engineer in an aerospace engineering company. A major aircraft project on which he was working was experiencing cost and schedule overruns. With that project completed, he was assigned to another project on the next generation product. Dan gathered some of his engineering colleagues
