This somewhat begs the question of whether those co-op students are more likely to saythat they are going into the aerospace field because they have secured a job with the companythat they had the co-op or internship experience with. Additional data provided in the AerospaceStudent Attitudes Survey reveals that of the co-op/intern students, only 41.7% of those studentsaccepted jobs at the companies with which they had had a co-op/internship experience.

Rio, who is still receiving radio transmissions from his brain, manages to break out of SCARE and find Sadina. Together, the two of them decide to track down the mysterious Dr. Ecks, an engineer who does research on brains and artificial intelligence. But Dr. Ecks has disappeared, and her mansion has been ransacked. Can Rio and Sadina search the mansion and find the clues they need to get a new brain for Rio? The graphic novel ends when Sadina asks the learner to take over the adventure and explore the

To achieve that goal, the Department of Education has committed $4.3billion to encourage states to develop “comprehensive strategies to improve achievement andprovide rigorous curricula in STEM subjects; partner with local STEM institutions, businesses,and museums; and broaden participation of women and girls and other groups underrepresentedin STEM fields.” The report also cites the need make a “concerted and inclusive effort to ensurethat the STEM workforce is equipped with the skills and training needed to excel” so that theUnited States can maintain its historical preeminence in the STEM fields. 1

There are a variety of factors,including irrational ones, which affect students’ ultimate career decisions. Among them, out-of-school experiences in high school can impact their career interests and decisions. We examineddifferences in incoming engineering students’ high school extracurricular experiences, and howthose experiences influenced current and future selves, as well as career plans.
