Dr. Alexandra Coso Strong is an assistant professor ofengineering education who works and teaches at the intersection of engineering education,faculty development, and complex systems design.Study Process In the first phase of the study, the first two authors conducted an analysis of each other’sexperiences regarding the evolution of their professional and personal goals as they transitionedinto a doctoral program through deliberations of their statement of purposes. Each researcherread the others’ statement of purpose to isolate key areas that influenced their professional goalsfor pursuing a doctoral career. In a recorded collective
asked questions like why they arepursuing engineering as a career and how their current educational trajectory or pathway is goingto prepare them to become working engineers within the profession. The faculty and staff thenexplain why this unique program exists and how it accelerates a pathway to thrive as a workingengineer in industry. This sets the stage for participants to begin looking for ways that their goalsalign with the values of the program throughout the rest of the event.Food and games are also great examples of how this social event allows participants to networkwith faculty, staff, current students, and other participants from around the country. Local smallbusinesses provide catering for most of the events while the faculty and
receive mentoring assistance from many people at any one point in time, includingsenior colleagues, peers, family, and community members [7]. The developmental networkperspective mentor model identifies two key dimensions in its typology: (1) the diversity ofindividuals' developmental networks and (2) the strength of the developmental relationships thatmake up these networks. The two major types of support within these dimensions include: (1)career support, such as exposure and visibility, sponsorship, and protection, and (2) psychosocialsupport, such as friendship, counseling, acceptance, and confirmation, and sharing beyond work[7].Multifaceted university mentor programs have been successfully created at the university facultylevel to improve

Women studentswho applied to graduate school were more likely to be motivated by intrinsic factors (e.g., loveof learning, interest in their field) than male students, who were more motivated by furtheringtheir careers. The authors noted that personal outreach and encouragement to apply to graduateschool were more important influences on women’s decision making than men.Once they transition into graduate education, women contend with experiences of sexism, genderstereotyping, delegitimization, and isolation [9]. To mitigate these challenges, women often haveto depend on their own resilience and capacity to cope with these

The most recentChESS took place July 25-29, 2022 at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO, witharound 160 participants and 80 presenters. The two core outcomes for the Summer School are1) to build the Chemical Engineering education community and 2) to provide useful knowledgeand tools for teaching, scholarship, and service for those early in their careers.A typical

Two examplesfrom participants follow: ... for interviews, for thinking about my resume, for thinking about how I talk about my experience, the things that we learned in EML have been super helpful. [It was also helpful to learn] what to expect in terms of an industry career. (ABET 7) … the [SMART goal] tool has been very helpful ... if you're talking about something in an interview. I know I've used that. (ABET 7)Discussion This qualitative study explores how undergraduate students apply what they learn in theEML course in curricular and non-curricular ways. This study demonstrates an effective way tohelp achieve many ABET student outcomes
]. Metacognitive and self-regulation strategies can help students be moreeffective learners. The affective element of learning refers to student attitudes and mindsets thatcan influence their thinking and behaviors, ultimately impacting their learning and academicperformance.Learning and persistence in higher education, and engineering education specifically, areinfluenced by many internal and external factors [5], [6], [7]. For example, Geisinger and Raman[7] identify six factors driving students to leave engineering: classroom and academic climate,grades and conceptual understanding, self-efficacy and self-confidence, high school preparation,interest and career goals, and race and gender. The first three items are fundamental to theclassroom experience

Thisengineering curriculum would be supported by math, physics and chemistry courses, includingelectronics and thermodynamics through the physics department. The initial engineering sciencedegree was not meant to be an ABET-accredited degree but a pathway for students interested inengineering to gain engineering training while integrating other interests such as business,environmental science, and data science. This degree was intended to provide strong preparationfor careers in areas such as entrepreneurship, project management, architecture/design,government technology policy

This project focused on introducing students in the Civil Engineering TechnologyProgram to sustainability concepts using the EOP framework. Curricular adaptations wereimplemented for two courses: Introduction to Civil Engineering and Structural Steel Design,both in the Civil Engineering Technology Program reaching 102 students. The two pilot coursesserved as examples to incorporate sustainability concepts into other technical courses within theprogram to ensure the students are well-grounded and prepared to be sustainability change agentsin their future careers in the

They also felt that it was very enjoyable and personal, hands-on, and keeping clarityon career-related paths.UC, Davis despite their limitations, through these courses was able to provide authentic researchexperiences to around 300 students who otherwise would have not engaged in research. These students byand large also represented the rich diversity of the undergraduate student body at UC Davis. Thus, even atthis relatively small scale, the implementation of CUREs in the First Year Seminar Program hascontributed to UC Davis’s goal of providing all interested students with research opportunities.Furthermore, the initial

Further, women who choose STEM majors are almost twice as likely as mento leave that major due to an unwelcoming culture or lack of engaging introductory courses [11].While it appears that some sex- and racially-based barriers have been removed as students movefrom secondary school through the university, the shortage of women and minorities in STEMcareers remains relatively intractable.There is a growing body of evidence that hidden biases in the workplace contribute to theleakage of women and minorities from STEM-related industries [2].

Of the approximately 340 alumni from theengineering college at Lipscomb, at least 155 participated in a HEP through the program duringtheir college career. Many of these students have continued their participation in the projects asalumni serving as team leaders or technical professionals.

Students from highly populated areas have moreopportunities in the educational system to explore in-depth access to STEM versus students frommore rural areas. This is related to the availability of qualified staff and resources in the ruralschool system. Socioeconomic status has an influence on how students pursue STEM.While the opportunities for students in lower socioeconomic areas are less, they are more likelyto pursue higher education and careers in STEM fields.

The merits of multi-year research experiences and the influence of mentorsare also well-documented [3, 4]. The benefit of research experiences for undergraduates(REUs) is so significant that the National Science Foundation (NSF) supports multipleannual summer REUs through annual grants. Students have the opportunities to apply toREUs nationwide and, if selected, have the opportunity to travel to another campus, workwith a faculty researcher, and learn
