Class projects are designed to requirestudents to use these technologies in a manner that is similar to what can be expected in currentsurveying practice and to deliver a final product that is similar to what is delivered in currentsurveying practice. A major goal for this class is to turn out students who are exposed to enoughmodern surveying technology to be able to work alone as a one man survey crew within a fewmonths of being hired by a surveying firm. This should enable them be a productive addition tothe firm shortly after being hired.Although the students in SURV 4550 have already been exposed to the equipment andtechnology used in this

The students and alumni share multiple meals a year together on campusand the students have been invited to visit partner offices and project sites. In exchange for thestudents’ participation in the ESA activities, the industry partners will facilitate internship andprofessional development activities in the third and fourth years of the students’ engineeringprogram.

and closely related industries (Statistics, 2015). The literature reviewseemed to indicate that there would be no drop in value and demand for STEM field graduates(Covers, Jones, & Watson, 2011). The industry employment and output projections report,seemed to highlight that the largest STEM occupations are related to computers with an averageannual wage for STEM occupations being $77,880 in May of 2009. This average wage could beconsidered a motivating factor for students to pursue STEM related professions. While thesestudies indicate how STEM occupations are highly sought after because of varying factors suchas higher paying jobs and political and industry promotions of the STEM field. They still fail toaddress or identify why there is a

It also provides the student anexperience to the particular facets of an industry, or multiple industries, if they have not yetdecided on where they wish to begin their career.It is important both to the student and the industry involved that the internship provide “realworld” work, not drawing filing or other paperwork projects which do not apply to the programthe student is following. That is not to say that the student must be given original design work tocomplete, but rather some small segment of design, drawing modification, subroutine algorithmdevelopment, and so forth.

Carbone et al. (2020) identified a range of programs and practices, in addition to placements and internships, including practicums, projects, field trips, and site visits within the plethora of activities that can be used to develop practice ready graduates by expanding students’ perceptions of their career and professional identity [13]. Another example of flexible and accessible alternatives is student organizations. Kurniawaran et al. (2020) argued the positive and significant impact of students
