. However, as a pilot, the sample limited generalizability; thecurrent study addresses this limitation. We used a national cohort that included multipleengineering disciplines (biomedical, mechanical, chemical, electrical, computer, aerospace),types of formal design projects (e.g., first-year, design-spine, senior capstone) and institutiontypes, including private religious; Hispanic-serving; public land-grant; and research flagshipinstitutions (N=449). We report sample characteristics and used confirmatory factor analysis(CFA) to provide validity evidence, reporting the chi-square and standardized root mean squareresidual as estimates of fit. We report Cronbach’s alpha as a measure of internal consistency.We found that overall, the CFA aligned with

All of the participants had experience working in the DIBsector in areas that work with microelectronics engineering and they were involved in the hiringof entry-level employees and interns. Each participant represented a different area of themicroelectronics engineering development process and was able to inform the larger studyregarding different technical and professional skill needs. Table 1 documents the pseudonymsand the areas in which the participants had experience. Participants were from a variety ofsectors within the DIB, including government agencies, a government contractor, privateindustry (i.e., aerospace and engineering technology solutions), and government

Afterwards he was selected for the exchange scientist program and spent a summer working for DASA Aerospace in Wedel, Germany 1993. His initial research also made a major contribution to the M1A1 barrel reshape initiative that began in 1995. Shortly afterwards he was selected for a 1 year appointment to the United States Military Academy West Point where he taught Mathematics. Following these accomplishments he worked on the SADARM fire and forget projectile that was finally used in the second gulf war. Since that time, circa 2002, his studies have focused on unmanned systems both air and ground. His team

Each course is 2 credit hoursand includes 50 minutes of lecture and 2 hours of lab per week. The sequence was designed toexpand the amount of ‘hands-on’ experience within the curriculum and to horizontally align labexperiences with required courses in mechanics and thermal sciences.
