An important feature is that students admitted to the Programlive together in an incubator-like residence hall where they can freely exchange ideas with like-minded students. Living and learning together, these students are provided with a uniqueopportunity to interact with their fellow CEOs. This environment has the potential to impact theway the CEOs think about their careers, their destinies, and their ability to start businesses rightout of school.1.

Aeronautical Engineering Technology program has senior level capstone courses thatintegrate knowledge gained through undergraduate courses. Three of these capstone coursesrequire the students to plan, design, build, test, and implement product or process improvements.Faculty members have designed these courses in the curriculum to focus students on productdesign and process improvement. The courses use Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methodology andtechniques as a structured approach to problem-solving, product design, and processimprovement. This combination of design project experience and LSS knowledge is anadvantage for graduates seeking careers in aerospace and aviation, as the LSS methodology iswidely used across multiple disciplines to achieve dramatic

Since 1999, approximately 500 students have participatedin the pre-college program. Phone interviews were conducted to collect data on theseparticipants. The results of these phone interviews provided data on the number of participantswho have completed high school, enrolled in college, pursued an engineering degree, graduatedfrom college, and pursued a graduate degree.

To accomplish this goal, courses were designed withengineering ethics topics embedded within the syllabus.In parallel, the past decade has seen extensive growth in the number of electronic journals suchas those from the IEEE, and electronic books available as subscription based library electronicresources. Along with the web, this has created an information overload that is now a majorsource of confusion among students.

We conclude that careerexploration items contained the highest amount of explained variance when predicting students'final grade. The single use of students' access to career exploration content was able to predictstudent’s final grades with an 84% precision in the class.
