Students into K-12 TeachingAbstractThe Georgia Institute of Technology, a Research Extensive institution located in the center ofAtlanta, has a historic mission to create new knowledge and to train students in technologicalfields. Regulations put forth by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia,specifically prohibit Georgia Tech from having a College of Education, so there is no unit oncampus with the mission of teaching students about pedagogy, or preparing them for a career ineducation. Further, there has been a historic institutional paradigm that equates success withplacement of Georgia Tech graduates in technical or research positions. However Georgia is indire need of more well trained STEM teachers to better prepare

These students will also have more positive perceptions of entrepreneurship as apossible career path. 2) More positive views of entrepreneurship as a career will be positivelyassociated with higher scores on locomotion and creative self-efficacy and lower scores onassessment. 3) Students with a close family member who is an entrepreneur will be more likelyto intend to minor in engineering entrepreneurship and have more positive perceptions ofentrepreneurship as a career.

These obstacles involve differingwork ethics, personalities, and communication styles. Inevitably, these differences can lead toconflict, and a need to resolve disagreements within the team. These ever-present emotionalaspects to working in a team are found not only in student projects, but also on the projects theywill be working on once they graduate. Finding the skills as a student to successfully navigatethe myriad of issues that may arise when working with others, sets student up for success in theirengineering careers after graduation, as shown by Jones (1996) [1] and Seat et al.

Engineering Education is inviting more student involvement. One goal ofthe Student Constituent Committee will be to promote the development of ASEE studentchapters on college campuses. These ASEE student chapters have the opportunity tosignificantly influence the future of engineering education through current engineering students.Current graduate students are understood to be the future educators, so many campuses alreadyprovide at least some resources for students interested in academic careers. In light of thoseexisting resources, how can a new ASEE student chapter maximize its impact on campus?Using a strategic planning process, an ASEE student chapter can maximize its impact onengineering education and bring additional value to ASEE student

The FIRSTE program provides a vehicle for Penn State University and the New Kensington Campus tocapture the interest of this growing community of college-bound young women, and to introduce them tonontraditional careers in engineering and engineering technology.Problem Statement The Registrar at the New Kensington Campus reports that less than 10 percent of enrolled engineering andengineering technology students are female, and proportionately fewer are of a minority group. The problem is twofold: 1) young women are seldom encouraged by school teachers or counselors toconsider or investigate careers in engineering because engineering continues to be a traditionally male choice, and2) we are not reaching female and minority

Students may also hold misconceptions regarding the nature oftechnological careers and this may also dissuade them from participating. Exposing students togreen energy and sustainability topics as a STEM context may be a motivating approach andwhen coupled with clarifying career information, it may sharpen much of the generallyambiguous knowledge on these topics. The understanding students gain might then change theirattitudes regarding STEM careers and lead to pursuit of academic studies leading to

This study is designed as an embedded exploratory mixedmethods study of current graduate engineering students and recent non-completers that seek toanswer the following research questions: 1. How do graduate students at various stages in their PhD programs in engineering perceive the role of academic writing as it relates to academic socialization and success in future academic careers? 2.
