This marked difference in earning potential serves as a key factor influencing ashift in career trajectory, occurring either before or after undergraduate studies. Unfortunately,many students overlook crucial aspects such as job salary and availability when selecting theirundergraduate major. While personal interest often guides this choice, studies reveal that familialand peer pressure also plays a substantial role [2,3], leading students to pursue majors that maynot align with their passion or offer favorable job prospects and income. While more than 30%of undergraduate students regret their initial major

The second panel consisted of engineeringgraduates who worked in other professions outside of engineering, and they discussed how theyused their engineering skills in performing non-engineering jobs. The third panel consisted ofseasoned or retired engineers, who spoke about the variety of things each had accomplished overthe course of their careers. There were 16 guest speakers. Of

Students strongly indicated that the program was an importantbridge between their undergraduate and graduate careers and that important knowledge, skills,and interests were developed as a result.

Identity of an Engineering Technology GraduateEngineering graduates identify themselves as a person formally educated in engineering, whobelongs to a group of people practicing engineering. How does the person holding anengineering technology degree career identify? The lack of differentiating research betweenengineering and engineering technology graduates results in less knowledge about self-identification by the engineering technology graduate. Many believe that the positions held byengineering technology graduates further define their self-identity, as they are titled eitherengineers or technologists.Identity research focuses on career trajectory in the graduate student population. This focusplaces research in academia. Methods used to analyze

Studies at other institutions [6,8] have similarly found students respond positively towards computational skills when askedquestions such as “I feel computation (data visualization, modeling, and simulation algorithmdesign) will be useful in my career” [9]. Both studies found no significant change in theseattitudes before and after completing CMSE modules. However, these studies do not provide abasis for comparison to other topics; as Ref.

Between 2000and 2013, the proportion of science and engineering bachelor’s degrees in all fields awarded towomen remained mostly flat with declines in computer science (10%), mathematics and statistics(5%), physics (3%), and engineering (1%) [5].
