the STEM pipeline is outstanding, thenumber of students eventually employed by NASA is much lower than you would find ininternship or co-op programs in the private sector. This is a normal characteristic of internshipprograms at government agencies - which tend to be sized based on available funds as opposedto planned hiring needs. In evaluating the success of this program, NASA considers alumniemployed in aerospace, academia, and education to be of equal value to those employed by theagency itself.SummationThe dataset generated by the USRP internship program over the last four years is substantial andunique. It includes application data for over 10,000 applicants and 1,415 selected interns. Thedatabase also contains ??? student exit surveys

question: How do students with cooperative education or internshipexperience differ in their perception and understanding of their engineering problem-solvingskills as compared to students with no experience?Methodology Purposeful samplingxii was utilized to locate potential interviewees within each group atthe research site. The targeted goal was to interview electrical engineering seniors from each ofthe three groups: internship only, completed three cooperative education rotations, neitherinternship nor co-op experience. To control for academic ability, students with a cumulativegrade point average (GPA) equal or greater than 3.00 were identified for the study. Engineeringis a broad field of study with many subdisciplines (aerospace
