E-COACH is designed as a tool to aidstudents by offering career and learning style assessments. Additionally, E-COACH offers an“ordering of teaching fields in Education” based on an interest assessment. This paper presentsthe results of E-COACH assessments for a group of seventy-one students seeking postbaccalaureate certification. E-COACH career mapping is based on preferences regarding things,people, data, and ideas. Learning style assessments are based on preferences involving hearing,reading, somatic, and visual processing in the brain. The

Specifically, we sought to answer the following research questions(RQs): (1) Do students’ perceptions of computer programming change over time, particularly as they leave the university and begin their careers? (2) What was the effect of the pandemic on students’ perceptions of programming and computer simulations?RQ (1) builds on prior work [4], which found students had mixed perceptions about the value ofprogramming skills, as described in the

identity development of students fromunderrepresented minorities in STEM. The research was conducted through a theoretical lensencompassing the Goal Congruity Framework and Social Congruity Theory. To better understandthe impacts of altruistic framing, a traditional Saturday STEM program with participants from thesame demographics were studied for comparison. Through interviews and surveys, we found thataltruistic framing led to meaningful changes in students’ appreciation of engineering and, in somecases, new interests in pursuing engineering as a career. Students also increased their interest inengineering, but their definitions of the field did not broaden appreciably. Some found newinterests, but they did not have the same type of

Electrical and computer engineeringare broad disciplines, providing students with opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborationand a variety of careers pathways. However, the School of Electrical and ComputerEngineering’s (ECE) undergraduate curriculum mirrored this expansiveness of real-worldopportunities, presenting a challenge as students navigated the program towards the ultimate goalof a fulfilling engineering career. Responding to student, alumni, and industry feedback, theSchool decided to harness the program’s breadth and flexibility to empower its students

The program aims to provide on-ramps toa range of careers across disciplines (mechanical, electrical, software, etc.) requiring differentlevels of educational attainment (4-yr university, 2-yr college, apprenticeships, etc.). In the firsttwo years of the program, there were 97 qualifying graduates with nearly half going on to study aSTEM discipline in college and over a quarter choosing to major in engineering or computerscience at a 4-year university. Of the qualifying graduates, 55% were Latinx, 5% were Black,and 37% were Arab American. Preliminary data shows the program correlated with a modestincrease in STEM career interest and students perceived the program to help them prepare fortheir future

In engineering, over 65% of students who transfer eventually earn an engineeringbaccalaureate degree [6]. Unfortunately, only about 15% of CC students declare a major inengineering or computer science [7].Women CC students face particular barriers in pursuing careers in engineering and computerscience.

However,the reality today is that most engineering graduate students (GSs) go on to non-academic careers[3], [4]. As educators, it should be our aim to equip GSs for success, regardless of careeraspirations, and to be more thoughtful about what ‘success’ in a particular field means.
