Recentstudies on the engineering work force demonstrated the need for communication skills in additionto technical knowledge. One way of achieving these employer-desired skills is by incorporatingproject-based learning in the upper-level classes of the engineering technology program.

of confidence in their preparationto teach science.” 1 In order to increase test scores, American schools need to ensure thateducators are prepared to teach math and science classes. Government acts like “No child leftbehind” (NCLB) help ensure that US teachers are adequately trained. NCLB mandates that allpracticing teachers become highly qualified. In order to do this, they must pursue a master’sdegree in the subject they teach or pass an equivalency test.The overall goal of this research was to improve science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) education at the middle school level in order to inspire more young peopleto pursue careers in the engineering and science fields.

Throughout the pasttwo decades, researchers have attempted to measure related constructs such as citizenry andreadiness for global workforces. Unfortunately, none of these metrics have been preciselyaligned to career preparedness in the way that this paper intends to describe. As such, there iscurrently sparse research on global preparedness of business and engineering students.
