tounderstand what a Ph.D. does in academia, which might discourage them from considering thecareer as a choice. 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

Critically, studies have shown students transition from interest in engi-neering, to seeing engineering as an option, and finally choosing to become an engineer in avery short period of time [6]. 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]. We envision our intervention operating as a vicarious experience [8],which enhances self-efficacy.In robotics, research from educators indicates that robotics education has a unique opportu-nity to promote diverse participation, including meaningful applications, tactile robotic sys-tems, and well scaled projects.

Thisengineering curriculum would be supported by math, physics and chemistry courses, includingelectronics and thermodynamics through the physics department. The initial engineering sciencedegree was not meant to be an ABET-accredited degree but a pathway for students interested inengineering to gain engineering training while integrating other interests such as business,environmental science, and data science. This degree was intended to provide strong preparationfor careers in areas such as entrepreneurship, project management, architecture/design,government technology policy

Bear and Skorton [7] state, “the notion that disciplinary specialization andtechnical depth are the only important prerequisites for employment turns out to be false.” Kingand Pister [8] also advocate for broadening engineering Bachelor’s degrees, and present a varietyof ideas to achieve this aim.According to data from the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) [9] only asmall number of students

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.
