Although many of these initiatives have already beenworking on this for two decades or more, the offers to promote technical career choices have notyet been sufficient to really prevent a shortage of academically trained engineers.To discuss this challenge, this paper first describes the today’s situation of recruiting young talentsfor engineering together with interdependencies and determinants of the individual decision-making process that has to be

For example, student beliefs aboutengineering career security and salary are predictors for persistence [3]. Student career aspirationhas also been observed as an indicator of persistence [2]. Other studies have highlighted theimportance of guidance and clarification of the role of engineers through advising, as manystudents may have incorrect assumptions about the culture of engineering [4]. One studyidentified six broad factors that drive attrition from engineering: classroom and academicclimate, grades and conceptual understanding, self-efficacy and self-confidence, high schoolpreparation, interest and career goals, and race and gender

Once you have decidedon the kind of research you will pursue, recruiting students is the next critical step.Experienced researchers know that the students who perform best in class are not necessarily thesame ones who will excel at research. Initiative counts for more in research, as does the abilityto address problems that are not well formed. At the beginning of their career, graduate studentsare knowledge consumers, with a need to learn what is the state of the art in their discipline.Later they become knowledge generators, contributing results to their research group and thecommunity at large.

During the last two decades, many articles have been publishedpushing for more empathy in engineering [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. Some argue “that empathy…enables students to develop a nuanced critical understanding of the multiple perspectives whichcharacterize contemporary engineering problems” [10]. Facilitating an environment for studentsto develop empathetic skills allows them to more holistically understand the problems they willencounter in their careers.
