Career Theory to Explore Factors Influencing the Post Baccalaureate Decisions of High Achieving Black Engineering StudentsAbstractThe literature indicates that the representation of minority science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) professionals is significantly disproportionate to minority representation inthe U.S. general population and workforce, thereby impacting the current pool of primarilyWhite male STEM professionals’ ability to meet the rapidly changing demands facing theengineering industry. The need to increase the numbers of science and engineering degreesconferred to ethnic minorities at the baccalaureate level and beyond is evident. This paper sharesdata from the first phase of

IRR calculated using these two visual methods with five of the most commonstatistical measures for calculating IRR, finding excellent agreement between our new methodsand existing statistical formulae. This methods development is exemplified using data for ourongoing research, in which we are working to analyze time-resolved engineering writing datarecorded through screen capture technology. The process of developing methods of interraterreliability for our context can also be applied to other researchers who seek to analyze non-traditional data, such as those collected during eye-tracking, screen capture, or observationalstudies.Introduction This research paper presents two novel image-based methods for calculating

The general aim ofthis implementation is to ensure continuity of methods, content, and goals across all courses andto increase the workforce relevance of student learning. Significant curriculum changes includeexpanding course content and duration (e.g., one-semester courses expanding to become year-long), implementing new instructional technologies (e.g., hybrid courses and flipped classrooms),and promoting experiential and team-based learning as a consistent learning outcome for all PDTcourses.

development of leadership skills is key to a successfullong-term career and has been highlighted by both the profession, academia and governmentfunding agencies as a critical need. Increasing diversity and inclusion in leadership is also criticalfor technology companies as they become global enterprises. Yet, there is a gap in knowledge ofleadership views, experiences, and skills for a diverse population of engineering students that areconsidered to be millennial students to frame how to construct a logic model that identifies thefactors that influence a student’s perseverance in pursuing leadership experience [1].

Concerns related to this growth in engineeringemployment include the attraction, retention, and quality of students in engineeringdisciplines. Research has shown that achievement in engineering courses is correlatedwith spatial ability3-6 and that spatial ability skills can be improved through training3, 4.However, whether a correlation between retention and spatial ability exists has beendisputed in the literature.Sorby and Baartmans7 developed a course at Michigan Technological University entitled“Introduction to Spatial Visualization” to improve the spatial ability of freshman studentswho were identified as at-risk due to poorly
