We have been continuouslyshifting the culture at our institution to highlight the challenging, yet rewarding and impactful,career in teaching. Over the past 4 years (i.e., the duration of our grant), the number of TPPstudents have been increasing, as well as the number who plan to teach math, science,technology/engineering, or digital literacy/computer science at the secondary level (i.e., middleand high school).

This is in line with NSFgoals. Not all students from the 2021-2023 cohorts have graduated yet, so our analysis here focuses on the2006-2016 cohorts. This extends prior reporting that we had made on the earlier cohorts [10]. As shown inFigure 4, in their responses to the pre-REU surveys, between 10% and 44.4% of the 2006-2016 participantsstated future plans to attend graduate school; the remainder indicated that they were either undecided orplanned on working post-graduation. Not surprisingly, these

Through ano-cost extension we have continued a fourth year of data collection related to the effectivenessof LbE.Across the study our approaches have been collaboratively developed in situ with teacher andstudent participants. For example, we have built on an initial concept of the LbE approachthrough insight during classroom observations, reflections with teachers and students, analysis ofstudent performance during the experience, and numerous outreach activities with designeducators. Effort during the no-cost extension has also made progress towards the sustainabilityof the

It occurred, for example, that students,faculty, and various community partners established a set of design goals, at which pointstudents used resources to purchase materials and develop a systemic design plan. However,the sociopolitical realities of the community context resulted in changing design constraints,particularly as community permissions to implement design solutions changed from day-to-dayor, perhaps, from hour-to-hour. When such changes occur, our well-trained approaches toengineering design became ill-suited for completing the community-based project, which

Threecomponents contribute to this theory: vocational personality (or career identity), careeradaptability, and life themes. Vocational personality is a person’s career-related abilities and interests, and pertains to how an individual constructs a career. Careeradaptability allows the person to construct a career that pertains to what career they desire. Lifethemes, the third component, deal with why a person selects that career. These themes emergethrough one’s lived experiences and personal stories and are often connected to one’s personalityand purpose. Career

Grayson also highlights how during the mid-19th century mostengineers were still trained on-the-job but those with an engineering degree were able to findjobs working in railroad and bridge construction [5]. The primary problem facing engineeringeducation at this time was simply producing enough skilled engineers to meet the demands ofindustry. While engineers were involved with the planning and design of the railroads, they werenot the workers responsible for the construction. Many immigrant workers were key in buildingthe transcontinental railroad with more than ten thousand Chinese workers performing thephysical labor for the project.
