involve veterans in the workforce, researchers have developed aprogram to help integrate veterans into electrical and computer engineering degrees. The initialtechnical focus will be in the renewable energy and energy distribution systems areas, which hasbeen identified as a critical area where there is a large projected shortage of trained technicalpersonnel. A 2008 NSF Workshop on the Future Power Engineering Workforce2 indicated “a serious need is emerging for more power and energy engineers to: a) replace retiring engineers so that critical expertise is maintained; b) meet rising infrastructure construction needs; c) modernize the grid as communications, computing, and electric energy technologies converge; d
engineering education. Fosteringinnovation is also a national goal, as addressed by President Obama’s Strategy for AmericanInnovation, which acknowledges innovation as the heart of U.S. economic growth (NationalEconomic Council, Council of Economic Affairs, & Office of Science and Technology Policy,20117). As we conclude the second year of this five-year project, we used both synthesis andempirical studies to examine engineering students’ views of innovation and abilities to innovateas well as educators’ ability to teach and assess the development of these abilities. Our researchso far has identified a critical problem. Innovativeness, though an essential attribute needed forengineers, is not one that resonates with the engineering
processes to the market [6]. In engineering education, innovationis often associated with creativity and entrepreneurship, with programs aiming to cultivate futureinnovation leaders [3,7]. Research has shown strong correlations between students' self-ratedinnovation skills and abilities and factors such as creativity, product development, start-upprocesses, leadership, and financial value [8]. However, the characteristics and behaviorsassociated with innovation may vary across industries, job types, and disciplines. Dyer et al. [9]identified questioning, observing, networking, and experimenting as key innovative behaviors,which may manifest differently depending on the context. Additionally, different types ofinnovation, such as technological

The IEEE Power Engineering Education Committee (PEEC) Task Force onEducation Resources [2] recently surveyed universities in the United States to determine thestate of power education. Of the 118 respondents providing data for the survey, 202 laboratorycourses (or less than 2 per program) were offered that were related to power systems orelectrical machines. In addition, 22 universities are delivering at least one of their powerengineering courses in a distance-education mode, and more than 26 universities are offeringpower-related courses without any laboratory support.

Results from that summer workshop indicate a range of approaches fornew engineering pathways for pre-service teacher preparation will be required to reflect theparticular culture of the universities. Potential approaches identified include:• The use of a minor in STEM education to complement an existing engineering degree, this reflects additions to existing undergraduate engineering degrees• Post-Baccalaureate degree programs –this minimizes impact to undergraduate engineering degrees• Working with educational technology programs –they tend to have greater flexibility

IntroductionConnections between college degree completion and successful entry into the workforce is a goalfor educators and external stakeholders alike. Postsecondary leaders and federal and statepolicymakers have identified STEM fields as critical for economic competitiveness [1], [2],including ASEE’s efforts to advocate for key priorities in science and technology legislation [3].College officials are also focused on curricular and co-curricular efforts to ensure STEM studentsuccess. To this end, work-related experiential activities (WREAs) such

Change: Fostering Adaptability along the Engineering PathwayIntroductionRapid technological advancement, demographic shifts, and globalization have been reshapingengineering work more quickly than ever [1]. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has also broughtunprecedented socioeconomic, environmental, and political change over the past year [2].Engineers must navigate these changes to innovate solutions to these pressing issues; yetresearch suggests that neither engineering students nor engineering professionals are sufficientlyprepared in this area. This CAREER grant addresses the issue by developing the means to define,understand, measure, and teach adaptability as a key meta-competency for engineers.Adaptability is the ability to
