A project manager is a professional that is oftenfound in engineering industry/fieldwork that organizes, plans, and executes projects while leading a team of engineers [9]. In theacademic setting, a PM could act as an accessible mentor and advisor for students [28]; they can ease those who feel lost in theclassroom, are unsure about their career goals, and whom need further explanation and advice in a more personalized manner than aprofessor can offer.

). Oftentimes inschools, an attempt to focus on STEM can lead to actually ‘siloing’ science and math as separateentities. Teacher preparation, until most recently, did not include the integrated subjects ofSTEM, which was not only true at the 7-12 grade levels, but especially true at the elementaryand early childhood levels. The lack of effective teacher training for STEM content and theNGSS negatively impacts K-12 students as they lack positive engaging hands-on experiences inSTEM education that is very motivational. Prepare and Inspire [1] states that “we must inspire allstudents to learn STEM and, in the process, motivate them to pursue STEM careers.” There is adirect link between teachers’ self-efficacy in their ability to plan and facilitate

The CE students agreed it was effective, but it was not among the top 3most effective. The explanation for this observation was elucidated through discussions withsome of the individuals. In a few instances CE students expressed mild frustration with the non-CE team members, but non-CE majors questioned did not indicate frustration with the CEmajors. It was not an issue for the teams or their projects because it was not a disappointedfeeling, but rather an “it could be better” feeling. This is described further by the

In particular, studies show that enrollment, retention, and graduation rates ofengineering students from underrepresented populations (i.e., women, ethnic minorities) havehistorically been lower than those of other student populations. In addition, studies suggeststudents from underrepresented populations face unique and amplified issues that impede theirpersistence and degree completion.

However, the stairs can only be cleaned by a union worker but none are immediately available to help. Salaried workers have been cited and penalized for assisting with union work in the past, so you are apprehensive to do the job yourself. What should you do? If the penalty came in the form of a fine, would your decision change if the fine as $50, $500, $5,000? Are you liable if you do nothing?The topics that faculty brought to the team were scenarios that the student may encounter in theearly years of their engineering career or typical ethical issues commonly encountered by young
