The EngineeringAcademic Career Club (EACC) at Purdue University seeks to help bridge this gap betweenstudent or post-doctoral researcher and successful tenure-track applicant. To this end, the goal ofthe Engineering Academic Career Club is to establish a community to bring graduate studentsand postdocs together who have the drive and passion for continuing on to academic careers.EACC’s flagship initiative is the mentoring circles program.Mentoring is widely accepted as a key promoter of personal and professional growth in scienceand engineering [1]. This paper discusses one novel program designed to help graduate studentsand postdocs identify achievable goals, which will

IntroductionMost computer programming courses focus on teaching teach fundamental concepts andprogrammatic problem solving. Problem solving is considered as the process of workingthrough ambiguity to achieve a certain goal [1]. Assignments in introductory courses is viewedas a dominant tool in reinforcing theoretical concepts and assessing students’ problem-solvingability [2]. In a typical assignment, students are given a problem to which they program asolution and submit the final iteration of their code for evaluation. The student’s entire process ofsolving problems, interacting with the concepts and

STEM appears to be the only field in which African Americans are significantly morelikely than their white counterparts to change majors and earn their degree in another field, apattern that obtains even when controlling for high school academic preparation [2].It is useful to think of underrepresentation by these groups as two separate issues: access andretention. Access involves being admitted into an institution of higher learning – this is not thefocus of this paper

Moreover, many of these students are first generation undergraduates with littlebackground knowledge of graduate school [2].Diversity in graduate school enrollment can be enhanced by creating research experiences forminority undergraduates [3].

It is hoped that this exploration might spur faculty to consider theirpractices through a different lens.BackgroundMany engineering codes of ethics state that engineers “shall hold paramount the safety, health,and welfare of the public” (e.g., NSPE, IEEE, ASME, AIChE [1-4]). This explicit requiremententered most engineering codes of ethics in the U.S. around 1976 as individual disciplinarysocieties began adopting the language from the Engineers Council for Professional DevelopmentCode of Ethics [5].

Simulations are animportant tool to initially evaluate a design since they are relatively low cost compared to lab orfield tests and facilitate quicker iteration [1]. The simulations can then be used to develop atesting plan that can be implemented in the laboratory to complete the evaluation of a design.Students must also be trained to recognize that simulations are not reality and thus experimentalresults might differ from simulation results.

Additionally,the construction industry has been suffering from lack of skilled labor for a long time. Thepandemic worsens the situation since the construction workers are older than workers in otherindustries. It makes them prone to be considered as workers with underlying conditions [2].China plays a major role in the construction supply chain since it manufactures a considerableamount of rebars, Portland cement, and elevators. Manufacturing companies have been shut downin China and other countries, including the U.S. and Canada, which substantially impacted theconstruction industry.

Furtherresearch outlined by Atwood [1] builds on this finding, with students at both large public institutions andsmaller private colleges reporting a significant boost in self-efficacy and rating the approach as having agreater value than cost.

with theirpeculiar background, Java, Matlab, Maple, and Python may end up being 'best' for thatapplication (Shakib & Muqri, 2010).Actually, often, one will find that a mixture of a symbolic package, and a numeric package (orlibrary), with a little glue programming, will be best. This is because for advanced applications,one probably really wants to do 1. symbolic model manipulation 2. symbolic model simplification 3. numeric model simulation 4. code generation (for efficiency)Some experts have reported that the premise of Matlab is numerical computing. Depending onthe application, say if one just wants to numerically compute eigenvalues, inverses, ornumerically solve differential equations then probably Python is the way to go
