It can be further stated that existing employees, through either undergraduate or graduate studies can also further their education and make themselves more valuable to their employers. This being said, universities want to provide their students with practical experience so that they are better prepared to start their careers. Business, likewise, wants students with relevant knowledge thereby reducing training time.It is for these reasons, and others, that the amount of University/Industry collaborations haveincreased in the last ten years.

At the high school stage, the educational pathways are primarily categorized by ‘STEM’vs ‘non-STEM’, either for choice of subjects studied in high school, or by the choice ofpostsecondary majors. However, at the postsecondary education stage, pathways are defined bychoice of engineering disciplines and persistence in an engineering discipline till completion. Atthe workplace stage, pathways are
[16, 17]. Cognitive modeling occurs when instructorsverbalize their thought process as they perform a task [18]. Schunk argues that "Modeling informsand motivates. Models provide information about what sequence of actions will lead to successand which actions have undesirable consequences. Models can raise efficacy among observerswho are apt to believe that they, too, will be successful if they follow the same behavioralsequence" [19]. Schunk found that modeling strategies for understanding a text led to improvedreading and writing [20]. While graduate students are likely to be strong readers, those who arenew to research may be unfamiliar with the genre of scholarly research communication and thusmay need guidance in how to approach reading
