teachers are wellversed in math and science through their formal education, very few have experience and/oreducational backgrounds in engineering and technology. To promote STEM careers, a partnership among university engineering faculty,practicing engineers, and secondary schools is necessary; it is important to demonstrate to youngpotential STEM professionals the relevance of STEM activities. In addition to interacting withpracticing professionals, authentic experiential learning activities for students in secondaryeducation can promote STEM careers.

Three themes were observed: ● A focus on real-world applications or the use of practical applications in class ● To influence the career decisions of those that partake in the program ● To improve teacher knowledge in STEM to thus improve its instruction to K12 students.Results and DiscussionAs shown in Figure 1, just under half (44%) of the papers targeted high school students. K12teachers were the next most targeted group (24%) followed by middle school (16%), high schooland middle school (12%), and lastly elementary school (4%).

However, engineering graduatestudents aspiring to careers in academe are not usually trained in the multiple facets of the profession. Asa result, when they become faculty members they often struggle to find ways to balance the parallel andmany times competing demands of these functions.This paper examines the professional development plans of six engineering
