the preservice teachers’ final project where they wrote andtaught a 20-minute lesson on a topic of their choice. The preservice teachers planned theirlessons using the recommended lesson plan format. Some documented their process bycompleting a written log of their steps and/or a screen capture video. After completing theirlesson planning, the preservice teachers completed a reflection about the process of writing theirlesson plan and presented their lesson to their peers. The purpose of the written log and screencapture video was to see the specific processes used by each preservice teacher to complete thelesson. The aim of the reflection was to gain an understanding of how the preservice teachersviewed their process of writing lesson plans

After considerableconsultation with industry human resource representatives, university professors, and theuniversity’s career counselors, a professional development program was formed to address threemain areas of interest: the improvement of core research abilities, the development of skillsrequired for transition from academia to industry, and the necessity of projecting a professionaldisposition in the workplace. The graduate students organized a yearlong series of workshops inwhich university and industry professionals addressed each of the three areas of interest. Theprogram was evaluated through a combination of peer and self-reviews, writing improvementrubrics, and industry representative criticisms. The results

Therefore, the stories were notcreated to be analyzed in this paper. They were created to be disseminated to a broad, diverseaudience. This method limits the amount of information that can be extracted from theparticipants. It is also important to note that these personal experiences with public-inspiredscience were early in the students’ graduate career, and that many of the students continued toparticipate in other citizen science projects and later produced documentaries of their work(Battle, 2020; Kriss and Hockman, 2020; Patton, 2020; Purchase, 2020; Lopez, 2021

days, I try to put reasonable effort into winning academic accolades while remembering the manyaspects that can make them arbitrary and biased. I try to think about it pragmatically-- it is certainlyuseful, functionally, to me to win an award. It will help me have social capital to move on to the nextmore impactful project. I do not need to put the measure of my self worth in the academic accolade. Allacademic accolades come down to the decisions of a set of people, who may be very knowledgeable, butare still fallible. I try to remind myself that I do my work for bigger reasons than my own self-promotion.Any academic accolades are tools that help me do that work, not an end in themselves. 4.

The social impact of increasing female enrollment is to correctthe historical imbalance created by society historically disallowing women into “masculine”fields. Economically, the United States would benefit from increasing the number of females inengineering because the current system is matriculating fewer engineers than the workforcedemands, which is resulting in the outsourcing of engineering projects to foreign countries.Lastly, it would be practical to increase the number of female engineers in order to increasediversity which has been found to an increase of innovation (Su, 2010).Engineering
