Furthermore, the few who know they want to work in academia may not knowwhether they want to be a teaching-oriented professor or a research-focused professor. Anestablished job shadowing program allows students to decide what is best for them and their futurecareers and consider pursuing a Ph.D. as a valid career choice. A consequence of establishing aprogram like this could be that more students are encouraged to pursue Ph.D. programs,particularly individuals who are underrepresented in academia. This paper presents the results ofreviewing the existing literature on job shadowing programs, analyzes the effects of theseprograms across

Additionally, short interventions (like a one-day versus multi-day experience) have been shown to have similar outcomes for attracting diverse students totechnology careers [7].

Such experiences are seen as vital for thebroader aims of increasing inclusivity and expanding participation in STEM fields. UREs have madeimportant contributions to the career development and success of many students. Practitioners often credittheir early undergraduate research experiences as pivotal in shaping their professional paths [1]. Inrecognition of this, the National Science Foundation has provided substantial funding to give studentsvaluable opportunities to participate in UREs. These opportunities have been shown to help preparestudents for further studies and careers [1], [2], [3

The need for improved integration of professional standards inengineering education has been long recognized [1].The inclusion of standards in the senior capstone course is part of the ABET accreditationprocess for engineering programs [2], and many students begin to develop a deeperunderstanding of the importance of codes and standards through the capstone experience. Thecertificate program described in this paper is designed to develop this deeper understanding ofcodes and standards earlier in a student’s academic career. The certificate program focuses onthe role of codes and standards within the engineering
