campus, we have createda career-forward laboratory curriculum. This curriculum involves student teams completingDesign Challenges, which translate chemistry concepts such as specific heat capacity, solubility,and reaction kinetics into situated problems that are unique to the practice of professionalengineers. In addition to contextualizing science and engineering as real world applications, ourapproach forecasts the professional practice of various types of engineering careers. Thisapproach allows first- and second-year students to experience the work of a professionalengineer in a developmentally appropriate form as a means of learning the domain of chemistry.Special consideration has also been given to designing for populations sensitive to
(STEM) education is an effective catalyst toengage students in science & engineering careers. STEM continues to support the long-term goalof preparing students for life-long careers that promise a competitive edge in the job market.However, STEM program development is often challenging. Wu-Rorrer [1] argues that “STEMremains vaguely defined, and the strategies to successfully integrate it into the currenteducational system remain elusive”, inferring that a school’s STEM program is amorphous.Furthermore, STEM programs need more work than before with recent pressure to promoteinclusivity [2] and a solid career path [3] in a stable environment [4]. To better solve thisdilemma, there remains an aspect of STEM programs that is overlooked – the

participation of women in STEM careers has shown a slight increase.Despite this, it is still insufficient regarding the representation of women in these areas [1].Success in the curricular advancement of women who decide to study an engineering careerbecomes an important factor to achieve gender equality in the labor field, for which somefactors such as academic performance, the student community environment, teaching support,financial support, among others [2], are key to promoting the interest of female students tostay and complete their engineering university studies. Thus, it is highly relevant foreducational institutions to promote the entry of women into STEM careers and oversee theenvironment and factors associated with their curricular

She has overseen dozens of research projects, participated in several committees, supervised many students, and written numerous papers that have contributed to the body of knowledge in vibration serviceability. While Dr. Hanagan’s primary research interest has been in the vibration serviceability of structures, one of her greatest passions is teaching. Her area of teaching specialization is structural engineering with a particular emphasis in the analysis and design of buildings. At Penn State she currently teaches a structural analysis course, the advanced steel design course
the ability to work together while solving an open-ended designproblem, and being able to overcome any obstacles that arise. These obstacles involve differingwork ethics, personalities, and communication styles. Inevitably, these differences can lead toconflict, and a need to resolve disagreements within the team. These ever-present emotionalaspects to working in a team are found not only in student projects, but also on the projects theywill be working on once they graduate. Finding the skills as a student to successfully navigatethe myriad of issues that may arise when working with others, sets student up for success in theirengineering careers after graduation, as shown by Jones (1996) [1] and Seat et al.

needs of the technical workforce requireengineering students to gain both disciplinary depth and interdisciplinary and interpersonal skillsto ready themselves for the evolving career landscape. Specifically, engineering students areexpected to build relevant skills through experiential learning opportunities [1]. However, formost high school students considering engineering in college, their preparation is typicallyadvanced placement courses in science and mathematics. Courses alone don’t meet theincreasing national demand to better prepare high school students for careers in technology andmanufacturing [2]. To bridge this gap, high school students may pursue the skills and qualitiesexpected of them in a university setting, which will enable
