Ava’s father workedas security at the center and Katie’s grandfather often volunteered (Ava and Katie arepseudonyms). The families who came to the activities center were acquainted with each and withstaff. In addition to improved self-efficacy and lessened fear of failure in the girls, ourrelationships with families improved by attending and creating additional events. For example, Icreated a group called Women of Color in STEM. Female STEM professionals visited us andshared their personal and career journeys. The event significantly added and diversified the girls’STEM Career Interest. One girl changed her career goal from “teacher,” to “aeronauticalengineer.” Our

, 2021 Preparing the Next Generation Advanced Manufacturing Workforce using Collaborative Robots and Experiential Learning (Work in Progress)AbstractThe widening skills gap and shrinking workforce in advanced manufacturing is a critical national problem.One solution is to open the minds of schoolchildren to the joy of robotics in manufacturing to stir theirenthusiasm, with a larger goal of generating future career interest. This paper describes the application andassessment of a 7-week long after-school experiential learning program using collaborative robots thatintroduced 16 middle school students from underrepresented and underserved groups to robotics andadvanced manufacturing. Through pre- and post-surveys, students reported

The authors discuss the academic culture in Agricultural & BiologicalEngineering (ABE) and how it was a useful model when crafting a program for low-SESstudents [7]. All students were initially enrolled in the Exploratory Studies (ES) program, whoseaim is to help students determine a major that suits their career goals. The students then can worktoward their goal with necessary classes before they are able to move into the desired major.The RS structured pathway through the institution began the summer

, logistics, engineering technologyIntroductionThe use of standards in the aerospace industry is widespread. Standards are used for wideranging purposes such as heat treatment of forgings or glass cleaner. Standards are also used forprocesses such as reliability tasks, including a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). AFMEA is used throughout the product design schedule and is a tool, that if effectively employedprovides great reward to the design by reducing failures and decreasing life cycle costs.Just as engineering technology students in preparation for a career in aerospace should learn howto use other tools like an ohm meters, torque wrenches, and CAD programs, they should alsounderstand how to use process tools.

One student described that “engineers have very little design experience” and employerslook for experience. Therefore, the co-op experience that Bridge requires gives the cohort fundsof knowledge and advantages to navigate career options when they complete the program.ConclusionThrough this work in progress, we have found that although the Bridge program aligns withnational demographic averages of traditional engineers

Active participation in research is an important part of experientiallearning, which can help to prepare students for careers in a variety of settings includingindustrial R&D departments, academia, and government research labs. Undergraduate students’research experiences may be limited in their value, however, by the learning curve students faceas they begin to conduct research. The quality of their training may also be limited, with somereceiving excellent training and orientation from a strong research lab or faculty mentor, andothers receiving little guidance.

The students select their mentors from apool of industry professionals that we curated from the SMSE industry advisory board, theircolleagues, and select SMSE alumni.

Each week a presenter shares his or her professionalexperience with the seminar class and talks about career paths, ethics, continuing education, andthe “dos” and “don’ts” of a professional. The summaries are read for both content and proper useof grammar and sentence structure, and points are deducted for improper use of grammar andmisspelled words.

Significant evidence of this can be found in a longitudinal study that revealed thathigh school students identified as high spatial performers went on to attain higher educationalachievements and career proficiency [10], [11].

In addition, this Third Edition of the CEBOK(CEBOK3) emphasizes that engineers should also develop an appreciation for effectivecommunication and demonstrate key abilities related to the affective domain. With theimportance of communication to future engineers’ practice of civil engineering clearly defined,undergraduate curricula must adapt to meet this need. At the University of Delaware, the civilengineering curriculum included significant communication content prior to the issuance of theCEBOK3. However, the standard communication coursework of public speaking and technicalwriting left a gap in critical
