Preand post surveys were conducted with the students in which there was a 100% response rate.The focus of the assessment was on: (1) learning gains for understanding engineering of a skiresort and (2) team building and meeting engineering women peers. Results show student gainsin both educational and team building outcomes.Literature ReviewComing into college, many students choose engineering because they excelled in math andscience courses in their high school, but when they begin their first semester, they may becompletely unsure of which engineering discipline they want to pursue. Ultimately, many ofthem might not even be aware of what a career in engineering entails. A study at Colorado StateUniversity shows

This enhanced understanding not only benefits employers’ hiring practices, butalso it can help Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs improve curricula and expandlearning opportunities to best meet students’ and employers’ needs. In this study, we triangulatedindustry competency model content with rural employer perspectives on new advancedmanufacturing (AM) professionals’ desired competencies (i.e., the level of skill sophistication ina particular AM work area). To extract competencies for entry-level AM rural jobs, we used adeductive approach with multiple methods. First, we used Natural Language Processing (NLP)to extract, analyze, and compare the U.S. Department of Labor’s AM 2010 and 2020Competency Models because they reflect

While many states issued Shelter-in-Place orders anduniversity campuses closed indefinitely, REU administrators made difficult decisions regardingthe feasibility of offering a Summer 2020 program [3].

We also interviewed seven student mentees (5 male, 2 female) in May of2020. Topics for these interviews included prior experience in computing, reasons for joiningPINC, career plans, and program supports. The interviews were conducted via videoconferenceand lasted approximately 45 minutes.

For example, the manufacturing sector has seen recentchanges in the form of digital upgrades and the addition of artificial intelligence to advancedmanufacturing25 requiring students to now be more tech-savvy to succeed in this field25.Increased involvement from industry, in this case and many others, would ultimately bebeneficial both for meeting curricular recommendations and for appropriately equippinggraduates to enter the workforce.Furthermore, evidence suggests that

After being acceptedinto a major, students may still doubt if they want to study engineering or if their major alignswith their interests and future career plans. While research has been conducted on this processstudents face and what factors can affect the decision of their major, research is lacking onstudents who are not accepted into their major, disrupting students’ planned paths intoengineering and jeopardizing their future as an engineer.
