Interdisciplinary scholarly outputs were tracked through progress reports, surveys,and online databases. Both Nanomedicine trainees and mentors reported a significant increase ininterdisciplinary activities, including publications, presentations, and funded research proposals,as a direct result of the program. To determine whether trainees were sufficiently prepared for acareer in Nanomedicine, graduates of the program were tracked through social media. Nearly90% of graduates were found to have pursued careers in health care. Currently, 43% of graduatescontinue to perform research or develop

groups (such as womenand racial minorities) can help solve the numbers problem and can improve the quality of workbeing done [7], [8]. This requires both expanded efforts to engage new students and a criticalanalysis of the STEM ‘pipeline’. Specifically, the fact that many students report early interest inSTEM but drop out as undergraduate students, graduate students, or early career professionalsindicates that this is more than an issue of early recruitment, but a more serious flaw in the‘pipeline’ [9]–[11].As a result, many methods attempting to engage and retain a wider array of students have beensuggested and tested [12]–[14].

To this end, grass root efforts involvingrecruitment, education, and training of students from trade schools, high schools and two-yearinstitutes are to be initiated and promoted to prepare students for careers in industrial sector withan emphasis on energy management.

These influences are not well-researched, yet the findings from their richdescriptive stories may provide insights that could help key stakeholders in guidance counselingoffices, classrooms, families, mentoring programs, engineering, politics, and governmentfunding programs.
