understand Millennial and Generation Z student manufacturing perception whileworking to get students interested in manufacturing careers through coursework, internships, andco-op experiences. The generation divisions are often argued about, but Millennials aregenerally thought of as being born from the early 1980s to the mid-1990s with Generation Zfollowing. Millennials can be defined as those born from 1981 to 1996, with Generation Zfollowing from 1997 on. The results of over five years of questionnaire data shows that a well-designed manufacturing processes course equipped with hands-on labs, plant visits, andmanufacturing job fairs can be effective in changing student’s perception of manufacturing.

Interest Levels of Male versus Female Students going into STEM Fields (Evaluation)IntroductionThe fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, also known as STEM, haveexperienced rapid growth in terms of their importance and the demand for qualified graduates[1]. STEM careers provide an essential driving force behind new innovations and growth in theUnited States. STEM fields have seen a job growth rate three times that of non-STEM careers,and are continuing to grow [2]. Despite efforts to increase the number of STEM graduates, TheUnited States is struggling to supply enough qualified workers to fulfill these demands. TheUnited States is facing a problem as students’ interest, and therefore literacy in STEM has

However,in one ACT study (ACT, 2011) that is consistent with many others, only 25% of high schoolstudents met all the college readiness benchmarks set by the ACT in English, reading, science,and mathematics. While 45% met the mathematics benchmark, only 30% met the readinessbenchmark in science. Consequently, the STEM related workforce gap between the needs of employers andskills of the workforce is in turmoil. The Lemelson-MIT Invention Index that surveysAmerican’s perceptions’ about invention and innovation found that teens and young adults arehighly interested in pursuing STEM careers. However, 34% said

In the course of the interviews, participants were askedto rate their risk tolerance and their interest in pursuing a startup. Analysis of the interviews suggeststhat the principal indicator of entrepreneurial intent was interest in a startup, that most students’perceptions of the desirability of startups are negative, and that

Typical approaches includecoursework (e.g. Project Lead The Way), robotics programs (e.g. FIRST), STEM exposure days(e.g. STEM Career Day), hands-on outreach to local schools, etc. Indeed, approaches tomotivate often do not stop even when STEM students are on campus, with first-year disciplinarycourses including hands-on activities aimed at cultivating interest and motivation for that major.While education and exposure are important steps, many students in STEM areas still have littleidea of what would be a “typical day” for them at the workplace (once they graduate).Accordingly, the University of Akron has developed the
