.’ Many of thesestudents lack the confidence and skillsets to lead the teams and organizations that must executethe complex and often-large project work of technology research, management, and/ordevelopment. Students who possess the ability to solve technical problems, manage budgets, andapply basic business principles in an effort to develop a product or solution may become adeptengineering managers. However, students who can inspire a team to complete and deploy productsand solutions so that the whole team’s productivity is greater than the sum of the expertise of eachindividual team member can become engineering leaders.

Thus, BCE2 aimsnot just at improving practices in STEM for greater inclusion and skill development, but alsoincreasing retention of recipients of training or programming in the geographic regions wherethese interventions occur and are often most needed [1]. To do this, partnerships in the BCE2pilot include a diversity of higher education institutions, the K-12 system

Certainly, this is an investment in their employee’stechnical and professional development, which is, of course, important. But we believe thatemployers have more incentive to make such an investment if the project that forms thecenterpiece of the student’s doctoral research is important and of value to their employer.1 At Johns Hopkins the residency requirement for PhD students is set at the university level; the School ofEngineering cannot waive
