Many schools steer students who are not in astate-approved career and technology program and are unsuccessful taking a foreign languageinto the advanced technology education graduation option and choose to offer ATA which is notas rigorous as EngD to maximize their chances of success. On the other extreme, some schoolsoffer a more advanced Engineering Design and Research course and others offer Project LeadThe Way pre-engineering curriculum. With the new articulation option available, more schoolsare expected to offer EngD starting in 2015 as evidenced by the enrollment of as many as 13teachers in the summer 2015 EngD training.Professional Development for School CounselorsThe GET ET grant Co-Principal Investigator, who is CCBC’s

There wasnot a clear indication of what specifically made the most impact. However, it is clear that humaninteraction with their teammates, mentors, community partner(s), etc. and reflection writing helpthem to articulate some level of empathy. For future research, it would be interesting to see ifthis articulation of empathy indicates an increase in their empathic development.As stated previously, in previous research on the program’s design process, we found correlationbetween empathy and students’ relationship with their team’s community partner [5

From the standpoint of technical rationality, professional practice should be aprocess of selection of the best means and methods available to solve a given problem. Realworld problems however, do not present themselves in a well-structured manner, rather ascomplex and ill-defined situations where mostly a process of tedious problem construction needsto be performed well before starting to solve them19.Technical rationality, unfortunately, does not prepare professionals to act in situations ofuncertainty, and these are the situations which offer the greatest potential for results in areasinvolving the creation of new methods and processes which are the

Drawing from the results of this study and a review of theliterature on graduate student stressors, we developed the Stressors for Doctoral StudentsQuestionnaire for Engineering (SDSQ-E) and administered it twice, in fall 2022 and in spring2023.
