The reasonswere classified into six motivations or psychological functions for student volunteering [14, 15]:(1) Value Function, (2) Social Function, (3) Understanding Function, (4) Career Function, (5)Protective Function, and (6) Enhancement Function [16].As shown in Table 1, 15 out of 55 (27%) of the students ranked Career Function, developing orincreasing leadership skills, as the number one reason for volunteering.

These interactions included speaking with the company at job fairs orhaving previously worked with/known someone within the company. This is consistent with the2019 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers showing employersconsider career fairs the most effective recruiting technique [13].

Our findings suggest that ruralemployers face challenges common to all AM employers: 1) the need for workplace skills, suchas a strong commitment to teamwork and ongoing professional development; and 2) difficultiesin encouraging employees’ transitions from job to career pathway, thus increasing their in-fieldpersistence.

Oftentimes, because ofstrict course prerequisites and limited offerings, students must wait until their senior year to participatein meaningful design experiences and apply their knowledge and skills. This combination can severelyhamper or prevent some students from participating at all. Design teams can provide opportunities tobreak down these barriers for many students, enabling them to participate earlier or more broadly intheir academic careers than may have been possible otherwise.The AIAA DBF Competition provides students with an opportunity to solve problems that they likelywouldn’t encounter in any other context, and in the process gain valuable experience

a greater percentage than working engineers.As to persistence in engineering, a number of studies [1], [2], [4], [5], [14] found that students’abilities, perception of abilities, especially in mathematics play a big part. Another largecontributing factor to persistence is student aspirations and how well the discipline – or moreaccurately, their perception of the discipline – lines up with their career aspirations and personalinterest. To improve retention, engineering programs need to ensure that students recognize howtheir career aspirations and personal interests align with their chosen field early in their studies.Toward this end, an accurate picture of student interest is needed.Study PopulationThe authors teach an introductory course
