Byidentifying weaknesses in students’ development, this research will enable us to recommendadaptations that can provide more localized support in undergraduate engineering programs tobetter prepare students for their future engineering careers. Accordingly, this paper addresses thefollowing research question: What impacts has the COVID-19 pandemic had on first- and second

A three-week virtual summer research internship (SRI) programwas offered in Summer 2021 to students at Texas A&M University-Kingsville and its nearbyuniversities and community colleges. The SRI program is designed as a mini-internship to provideacademic, professional, and career preparation to SRI participants. A total of 19 students wereselected as SRI participants in Summer 2021, who were divided into four teams. Four graduatestudents with research experience were selected as “SRI fellows” in the SRI program to assistfaculty advisors to provide research and career guidance to SRI participants. So, each teamcomprised five SRI participants, one SRI fellow

For more than a generation, studies have shownreligiously engaged individuals to be more civically engaged (Wuthnow, 1999; Lewis, Mcgregor &Putnum, 2013; Rockenbach, 2020). This characteristic may directly relate to women from religiouscommunities finding more meaning in careers such as engineering as they relate to contributions tobroader society.Women are less prominent in engineering fields than men (Pawley 2019).

IntroductionThe societal role of engineers has steadily evolved from a technical problem solver to that of a“technical mediator,” in which engineers engage with stakeholders to define the problem, ideate,and develop solutions [1,2]. Yet, engineering curricula still tends to focus on guiding studentsthrough problems that can be answered in a single, technical solution [3], ignoring thecomplexities needed to prepare students to solve real world problems [3, 4]. As stated bySchwartz et al. [2], “of particular interest to educators are

Yet, with all of that theoretical and mathematical rigor of traditional education, thestudents lacked cross-domain learning experiences or understanding of the path that awaitedthem if they pursued a career in industry.After listening to much feedback from our alumni and industry partners

The increase in student willingness to pursue STEM as a career option has been one ofmany RET programs' primary goals. Post RET classroom activity feedback shows gains in studentawareness of STEM and engineering applications, directly resulting from teachers feeling empoweredand adequately equipped after attending RET programs. One such survey conducted by the E3 teacherresearch program gathered 2,000 student responses, which showed an increase in interest in pursuingan engineering degree in college after completing the teacher's program activities
