Students who arecurious go beyond what they need to know for the test, ask “Why?” and are better poised totransfer knowledge between courses and in their ongoing careers. This first of EM’s three C’s isalso recognized more broadly as a key attribute; for example, in “Curious” by Leslie, oncedemographic factors are accounted for, it is curiosity and conscientiousness that are correlatedwith student success [2].Closely linked to curiosity, motivation helps describe students’ intention to realize this curiosity.There are a number of lenses through which to view both curiosity and motivation.

(Fundamental)Rationale and Background The importance of engineering for P-12 learners continues to increase1-6. This growinginterest can be attributed to the idea that engineering education can contribute to the generaleducation of all students as well as inspire a more diverse, and workforce ready, populace tomeet the needs of high-demand careers of the 21st century2. Engineering education is uniquelypositioned to support interdisciplinary learning experiences to foster rich connections and furtherknowledge and skills of academic disciplines.

The focus of this research paper is on the development andvalidation of survey measures to capture students’ subjective task values (STV) related to theirpost-undergraduate career search.” The top 10 keywords from that paper, based on their TFIDF,are shown in Table 1.

emotionaltrajectories of undergraduate students as they progress through an engineering program?22,23Undergraduate students in the engineering program experienced emotional turbulence as a resultof their experiences throughout their undergraduate career. Emotional turbulence is a termcoined by the research team to represent the variability in activation and valence of emotionsassociated with experiences within a short period of time. For example, during their first year inan engineering program, participants experienced a set of challenges related to the high school tocollege transition, both academically and socially. These challenges resulted in a flurry ofemotions for students, as they felt encouraged and supported upon entering college and werequickly met

. Participants who had significant technical responsibilities as part of theirservice often considered engineering to be a logical next step in their career. However, veteranswith less technical responsibility in their military jobs were more attracted to engineering byfinancial opportunities and/or job security. Veteran students’ relationships with faculty and otherstudents are influenced by their age and their veteran status. While many veterans viewed age asan advantage in engineering study, some cited balancing school with the family and workresponsibilities that often come with age as a disadvantage. Veterans are more likely to tell theirprofessors than other students about their veteran status.In Year 3 (2016-2017), we conducted 62 individual

Math skills are recognized as essential tothe success of future engineers. However, other skills are integral to the engineering career path.Within industry, it is communication skills that often make or break careers. Technically capableengineers will find their careers stagnating without well-developed communication skills, which are anessential part of engineering work. In fact, it has been shown that engineers spend over half theirworking days (55-60%) communicating both orally and in writing [1]. When engineers were surveyedabout the most important
