Students in this program learn business andengineering skills in the classroom, then apply them in the field through class projects and acomplex capstone internship, which takes the place of a traditional thesis. Thus, the EngineeringManagement program requires strong industry partnerships for the education and graduation ofits students.The MSPS Advisory Board, which consists of local industry leaders and program alumni, acts togrow and maintain these critical industry partnerships. The Advisory Board’s role is 1) toprovide the class-projects and internships required for the students’ successful careers and 2) toensure that the curricula stays leading-edge and covers the needs of regional employers.

More than fifty percent of students enrolled in an engineering field if at least one parent orfamily member was an engineer [6].This study was grounded in the social cognitive career theory (SCCT). Social Cognitive CareerTheory (SCCT) was developed in 1994 by Robert W. Lent, Steven D. Brown, and Gail Hackett[7]. It is a theory that explains the three interrelated aspects of career development. The firstaspect is how basic academic and career interests develop. The second aspect is how educationaland career choices are made. The third aspect is how academic and career success is obtained.The theory incorporates interests, abilities, values, and environmental factors. SCCT is based onAlbert

Raymond Floyd IEEE Life Senior MemberAbstractThere is an ongoing discussion of the benefits of an Engineering degree versus an EngineeringTechnology degree. Perhaps the first question that the student must answer is what are theirexpectations and desires for a career as an engineer? If their interests lean toward mathematicsand research, then the path could lead to a career as an engineer. If their interests lead towardhands-on and product development, then the path could lead to a technologist. Some

Morebroadly, even less is known about how first-year experiences differ for students from regionalcampuses or for students who transfer institutions. This project aims to better understand how thefirst-year experiences of students from various pathways affect their development across theircollege career through a series of first-year surveys and longitudinal interviews. We specificallyfocus on students’ engineering communities and engineering identities using Wenger’sconceptualization of Communities of Practice as our theoretical lens [1].For this work, engineering

In this case, we are examining the demographics ofgraduates and potential influences of their career and academic choices.

Some key factors that contribute to the genderdifference in entry to engineering and technology areas are gender stereotypes anddiscrimination, perceiving engineering as a profession for men, lack of encouragement,inaccurate information about the variety of careers available, negative beliefs about women’sabilities in STEM areas, and
