The proposed full-fledgedBachelor of Science major in Robotics Engineering provides an alternative where students canspecialize in robotics design, controls, and applications (as opposed to layering robotics coursework ontop of a separate major program of study). Building upon the foundation of the existing RoboticsEngineering minor, this new major seeks to attract a diverse group of students who are motivated topursue a career in robotics. The program blends foundational engineering courses with the core topicsof robotics in the areas of software engineering, mechanical

STEM summer programs have demonstrated that these aspects canbe effectively influenced by including various hands-on learning activities. Structuring the campsto have interactive, hands-on sessions is vital to aligning students’ values and interests withinSTEM disciplines. Within these summer camps, it is essential to identify which activitiessignificantly increase the students’ likelihood of pursuing careers in STEM fields. This studycompares two cohorts

While all of the cadets indicated that the courses and extracurricular activities were beneficial and interesting, only two of the cadets indicated they wanted to have a career in the computer science or cybersecurity field.

CTE courses in high school have a distinguishedhistory. Here, however, the teaching of engineering-related topics has become strongly linked tospecific engineering content classes.

PathwaysEngineering education is typically described using a “pipeline” metaphor, wherein students are shuffledalong pre-determined pathways toward a narrow set of career outcomes. However, several decades ofresearch have shown that this pipeline model does not accurately describe engineering trajectories andmay exclude students who enter the pipeline at different times and have other career outcomes in mind.Similarly, qualitative studies have shown that normative identities in engineering feature masculinestereotypes such as “geeks” and “nerds” that reproduce technical/social dichotomies.
