He also earned distinction as a Phi Beta Kappa member and an American Chemical Society Scholar. Dr. Henderson completed his Ph.D. in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During his time as a graduate student, he was a NASA Harriet G. Jenkins Graduate Fellow. Dr. Henderson has dedicated his career to increasing the number of students who are on pathways to pursue STEM careers. He believes that exposing students to STEM early will have a lasting impact on their lives and academic pursuits. He is the co-founder of the St. Elmo

We’ll go intomore detail about some of the specific sessions next.To meet the teachers’ needs of engineering career pathways and gaining an understanding ofthe resources available to students at Virginia Tech, we provided three specific sessions thataddressed these needs. An industry panel of 4 engineering professionals who work in theSouthwest Virginia region came to speak to the teachers about their careers, offered advice onhow to prepare students for the engineering workforce, and answered any possible questionsthe teachers had about the engineering industry generally and in the region specifically.Teachers also participated in

Additionally, emphasis was placed on developing expert-like epistemologiessurrounding BME, as research has indicated that there is a connection between students’ beliefsabout science and engineering and learning in STEM courses [6], [7], [8], [9]. To achieve this,we encouraged comfort with failure as well as an understanding of the importance of iterationthrough activities like the “desert island” scenario in Module 1 and the exploration of the bloodpressure datasets in Module 3.A major goal of this course transformation was to foster confidence in translating skills learnedto future careers.

In addition to providing technical trainingand knowledge, graduate education should help students build confidence in their capabilities,develop specialized research skills, and feel connected to both the academic and professionalcommunities [1]. While these broad goals generally align with established student outcomes,such as those specified by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) orthe Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB), they also reflect the unique challengesof advanced research training.Works that empirically assess the

Fields such as computer science and engineeringare where the absence of minority and female students is more noticeable; however, subjectssuch as biology, chemistry, and life sciences are more attractive to female students whenselecting a college degree and potential career paths [1]. To address this disparity and increasethe diversity of students in computer science and cybersecurity, especially underrepresentedminorities (URM) and women, it is necessary to create awareness and foster interest from anearly age [2].

Thereis an urgent necessity to enhance university enrollments and degree completion to help fill the gapsand meet the demands of high-skilled professionals. This shortage of skilled technical workforce with university degrees can be attributed to thelack of interest in higher education and careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics)-related fields at both K-12 and college levels.

The low number of available positionsand the inherent challenges of pursuing this pathway for many students is a significant barrierthat leaves them without the opportunity to engage in research during their undergraduatecareers.Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) provide a potential solution tothese challenges related to student access.

While these skills are undeniably vital for an engineering career, these courses often fail to provide opportunities for students to explore skills that go beyond the traditional curriculum and classroom walls. In addition, course structures often reinforce the stereotypical narrative in engineering that there is a dichotomy between the social and technical aspects with the latter being more important.

STEM graduate training: industry mentors' perspective Zilong Pan, Volkmar Dierolf, Anand Jagota, Himanshu Jain Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA 18015Abstract Driven by the fact that a great majority of STEM PhD graduates will be employed in non-academic jobs, primarily in industry (defined broadly to include private corporations, nationallabs, defense organizations, etc.), there is a growing recognition that the present format ofdoctoral training does not prepare them sufficiently for a career outside academia [1, 2]. Inresponse to this need, recently a new student-centered model of STEM doctorate, PasteurPartners PhD (P3), was developed based on use-inspired
