, in synchrony with the growing demands of today’s designengineering professionals, these projects have advanced an innovation focus both in process andoutcome. Yet, evidence of how the course experience has contributed to entrepreneurial interestslies primarily in anecdotal examples and stories about the career trajectories of former studentsand how they have gone on to leverage their prototypes into commercial products. As a result,this research paper examines the impact of intensive course-based design experiences such asME310 on the entrepreneurial outcomes and innovation behaviors of alumni through the designand implementation of an alumni survey aimed at gathering feedback and input into specificcurricular efforts.Administered to over

help in stimulating students’ interest in technologies. The authorsbelieve that these programs can be emulated by others in promoting engineeringeducation and research. The pre- and post-survey data also indicate that thestudents do not have enough information to decide their career paths and there is aneed for additional outreach activities on science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) education and careers among the students.IntroductionNanotechnology is said to the revolution of this century. Nanomaterials are usedin various consumer and specialized products and services. Some of theseproducts and services are cosmetics, sensors, electronics, biomedical tools,treatment of diseases, water purification, contaminant remediation

CollectionStudents’ Pre and Post SurveysOn the first day of the engineering camp, the students completed a pre-survey that includeddemographic information and the STEM-CIS (Career Interest Survey) based on the work of Kier,Blanchard, Osborne, & Albert [9]. The STEM-CIS consisted of 44 questions that took the formof a 5-point Likert scale from ‘Strongly Agree’ to ‘Strongly Disagree’. The 44 questions weredivided up into four sets of 11 questions based on the four areas of STEM. An example questionwas “I am interested in careers that involve engineering”.Based on the work of Talton and Simpson [10], four more questions were in the pre-survey in theform of a 5-point Likert scale that looked into peer perceptions of science. An example questionwas, “My best

The JROTC program was established in 1916 and is a jointlyfunded program between the federal government and local school districts. The program’s goalsinclude reducing the high school drop-out rate, improving school attendance and academicachievement, and preparing young people for careers in the military.

,including programs and initiatives linked to developing the aforementioned social support groups.However, women continue to hold a disproportionately low share of STEM undergraduatedegrees, particularly in engineering and computing, despite growing efforts to encourage womento pursue careers in STEM. For example, women comprise 46% of the available workforce [3] yetthey make up less than 20% of bachelor’s degrees awarded in computer science and only 22%awarded in engineering [4]. These findings highlight the need to further examine the dynamicslinked to women in engineering and computer science.

However,not every student is provided with opportunities to engage, learn and achieve in STEM subjectareas.

The Public-School District involved in this study has 35,000 students and 75% ofthem are from under-represented minority communities. Over the years, the schools offering ahigh school Algebra-based Physics course decreased as a larger number of schools faced staffing,scheduling, or other issues.

others can also impact self-efficacy, although to alesser degree than both mastery experiences and vicarious experiences (Pajares, 1997).Interestingly, Bandura (1986) found it was easier to weaken self-efficacy beliefs throughnegative appraisals than it was to strength them through positive appraisals. Finally, the impactof physiological states on self-efficacy is akin to perceiving the anxieties and fears aboutcapabilities as indicators of a lack of ability to succeed – higher emotional arousal in thissituation will lead to lower confidence or self-efficacy (Bandura, 1997). Research within the educational arena has established a relationship between self efficacyand college major and career choice, particularly in science and mathematics

If they start their careers with a government agencyor contractor they will undoubtedly work with consultants. Many students do notunderstand how a consulting firm operates but are attracted by the business aspects ofconsulting and management. In response to student requests and the opportunity toprovide an introduction to consulting engineering, a three-credit elective course
