capabilities are rooted in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics… For a variety of reasons, concerns have arisen over the future of both the military and civilian contingents of the Air Force’s STEM workforce. Emerging mission areas, particularly in the space and cyber domains, are expanding the need for new technical skills and expertise… A growing percentage of science and engineering graduates in the United States are foreign citizens and thus ineligible for the security clearances that many jobs in the Air Force and in the aerospace industry require. The existing STEM workforce is aging, with many individuals nearing retirement. Women and minorities are underrepresented in most S&E

These observations may, in turn, shed some light onwhether there can be parallel pathways for becoming a civil engineering designer and a licensedprofessional engineer.BackgroundEver since the split of the “engineering” discipline in the mid-1950’s into engineeringtechnology and engineering, there has been debate concerning the place and purpose to be filledwithin the engineering profession by graduates of Bachelor of Science (B.S.) engineeringtechnology

In 2003 the Office of Equal Opportunity concluded that for facultymembers hired in the 1980’s, men were significantly more likely to have been promoted toProfessor. One major issue identified in the literature involves the persistence of implicit biases,which are held by both women and men and which lead to individuals privileging male faculty

ofindividualized attention. Students value convenience, not incentive, in an extra help resource.Resources should be provided frequently, close to freshmen residence halls, and at varied times.Students also desire tutors who have a high understanding of the material and have an ability toexplain the material. Programs should strive to select tutors who can strike a balance betweendepth of knowledge and delivery of material. Paying attention to these attributes will increasethe likelihood that students will participate in supplemental instruction.References[1] S. A.
