In addition toNSF efforts, universities have long recognized the importance of training students in researchearly in their academic careers as doing so fosters academic preparation and motivation to attendgraduate school [2].

]. Creating these objectives is also challenging as various educationalphilosophies, interests, and perspectives are frequently present. For example, some believe thatacademia’s main purpose is higher learning, while others posit that job placement is the majorfocus. Such differences can lead to a variety of distinct learning objectives, which in turn lead tovery different academic curricula. Therefore, it is essential to first consider such purposes andthen carefully tune the program objectives to said purposes, and to have guidance with writingthe objectives themselves.When designing an engineering program that is focused on job and career placement, learningobjectives should be focused on outcomes that lead to employment.

well as creative thinking and problem solving; however, the pedagogy of many STEMeducation programs only focuses on the technical aspects of their discipline. The point at whichstudents are first introduced to various STEM fields is critical in terms of their interest,motivation, and understanding of potential applications. These early years greatly impact thedecision of whether a student pursues a career or major in a STEM field. Thus, teachingmethodologies for young STEM students must balance, or better yet, intertwine core conceptsand knowledge with student engagement through hands-on, project-based learning andconnections to topics of interest, such as music and the arts. Too often, STEM pedagogy paints apicture of a world where problems

In this case, identified regulation could serve as an indication of how relevantor important students felt the course activities were to their chosen path toward a desiredacademic major or professional career.

Engineering faculty andexperienced engineers provide mentoring to each project team. The basic assumption is thatstudents should be prepared and ready to work on an open-ended real world project at theculmination of their undergraduate academic careers and demonstrate an ability to apply theknowledge and skills learned in prior courses to solve a practical problem. Of course, in practicewe find that this assumption is not always true. Nevertheless, we maintain that a capstoneproject is in essence a semester long exam that provides direct measures of how students
