A codebook was developed based on emergent themesrelated to the personal and professional motivational factors of each EIF as they pursued theircurrent position. For this research question, two researchers (who did not serve as interviewers)established the codebook and conducted the analysis.

Due to this neglect, many engineering studentscomplete their engineering courses with the ability to solve complex engineering problems but nodesire to further explore the topics they have learned. In fact, in some cases STEM students leavetheir classes feeling that the topics that they learn about are unrelated to the real world andfrivolous. Because of this emotional response it is becoming common to see students graduatingfrom university with degrees in STEM but no plans to pursue a career in a STEM field[1].Although the Mechanical Engineering curriculum at the University of Colorado has a significantemphasis on design, all the formal design

Prior studies have shown that thehigher the engineering identity of students, the more likely they are to continue to studyengineering majors and engage in related jobs [1]. Generally, choosing and pursuing engineering majors is a prerequisite for studentsto enter the engineering field. However, due to the absence of engineering-relatedcourses in primary and secondary schools, most students have no real exposure toengineering experiences before entering university, which

Traditionally, women areexpected to undertake a heavy burden of domestic work while playing the primary careprovider for educating and nurturing children in many cultures [5]. Women are much lesslikely aspired than men to develop career in masculine discipline if they anticipate futuredifficulties in pursuing and advancing careers [6]. Based on evidence suggested in theexisting literature, validations on whether women’s lower representation in STEM is causedby their obligations and unavoidable conflicts of undertaking multiple demanding roles andresponsibilities both at work and at home are valuable. More importantly, it is important toknow how female faculty of STEM perceive and negotiate their

Nowadays, engineering students arepursuing careers in more diversified areas that possess fluid work structures, and that requireengineers that are quick to adapt to change and effective at facilitating multidisciplinarycollaborations [3], [5], [10]. In this context, communication and teamwork are critical to thesuccess of early career engineers; these capabilities are a fundamental aspect of career growthand an integral trait of leadership [4], [10]–[12].

As such, the faculty leading the program are still learning about the range ofbackgrounds, skills, and attitudes typical of their institution’s first-year students. The activitydescribed here serves two sets of intentions: 1) to collect baseline information for introducing students to engineering and buildingtheir confidence 2) to help instructors learn about their students’ backgrounds and attitudes to tailor thatintroduction from cohort to cohort.Speaking to the first motivation, new engineering students can be unsure about what anengineering career entails and are usually unaware of the breadth of available engineeringopportunities.

provide a comprehensive review of college student mentoring research from 1990 to 2007.A key conclusion was that many mentoring studies have not been theoretically-based. Thisdeficiency had been recognized in a similar review by Jacobi in 1991. One consequence is a lackof common definition of mentoring in the literature. Another is difficulty in identifying the keycomponents of the mentoring relationship that are most critical in supporting students' academicsuccess. Crisp and Cruz point out that 'mentoring' may not be generalizable across studentpopulations (4-year vs. 2-year, majority vs. minority, different majors/career tracks, peer vs.faculty mentoring, etc.). Thus, continued investigation of potential links between mentoringattributes and

For a prospective student intends for STEM as the career plan, the analysis of the linkagebetween STEM jobs and STEM education indicated two patterns. Firstly, a STEM degree is thetypical path to a STEM job, as more than two-thirds of STEM workers with a college degreehave an undergraduate STEM degree.
