Muchof the existing research on global programs, both in engineering education and beyond, hasfocused on outcomes evaluated during or immediately following students’ time abroad [4], [5],[6]. However, to achieve their stated potential, these programs need to prepare students for thework environment after they graduate with their engineering degrees.

Ethics and Equity in Engineering Practice: A National Survey of Early-Career Engineers as they Transition to the WorkforceAbstractThe transition from academic training to professional practice often exposes engineers to real-world ethical dilemmas and equity concerns that may not have been fully addressed during theirformal education. As engineering education evolves to address not only technical competenciesbut also the broader social responsibilities of engineers, the knowledge of how early-careerengineers grapple with these issues in real-world settings becomes increasingly important. Theprimary purpose of this NSF-funded project is to gain insight into the professional experiences ofearly-career engineers
