the co-op employmenton the students’ behavioral traits and competencies and, in particular as it relates to employerbehavior and work conditions. On that front, research shows that socialization, mentorship aswell as a positive and nurturing work environment have a quantifiable effect on student well-being and development [4].The engineering curriculum at University of Detroit Mercy is designed to direct the studentstoward professional practice very early, requiring three co-op semesters beginning in the summerof their freshman year. The likelihood of professional success and, more importantly, the levelof satisfaction derived from a professional career are due, in no small part, to self-knowledge andto the use of that knowledge to place

Internship Search ProcessAbstractThis research paper presents the findings from a study out of the University of Colorado Boulderfocused on using design thinking to improve internship search related resources and supports.The goals of the study were to 1) identify points of disconnect that students experience duringthe internship search process and 2) work collaboratively with student participants to identifyuseful, creative solutions. The identified points of disconnect can be viewed as potential points ofattrition, where students have the highest likelihood of dropping out of the internship searchprocess. By thinking strategically and creatively about how to address them, those points ofattrition can be converted into leverage points for positive

Given recent and anticipated demographic and political shifts[14], [15] we know that we are going to have to work ever harder to build the STEM talent poolfor tomorrow.Experiential EducationPCEC heavily engrains experiential education into each of our academic programs. Thecurriculum is designed to engage students in high-impact hands-on learning in which they applytheory to solve problems and then prototype and test their solutions through actual productdevelopment. State-of-the-art facilities provide both undergraduate and graduate students withaccess to a wide variety of tools such as machine tools, 3D printers, and advancedinstrumentation. For

their research, in a managerialrole and had to learn a lot of new skills to do so. Regarding critical thinking, the students mentioned how they had a lack ofunderstanding for how various disciplines interacted in a big system. One student mentionedhow they would like to understand how a plot of land goes from barren to a building andwhat specific considerations are required. This example best illustrates the gap the studentswere describing: they lacked the ability to design the details. When entering their workforce,it was these details that they needed to figure out and work with. Another student described itas “think[ing] outside the box and be[ing] able to solve problems”. In their final year,students mentioned that doing capstone did
