In an interview, the Assistant to the Chemistry and ChemicalEngineering Scientific Direction at IPL stated that she and her faculty “…do not perceive theAmerican students to be at a lower level than the French students.” Other French professors,such as Dr. Peiere Monkham and Dr. Muriel de Montigny, remarked that they believed thesame. They noticed that on the whole, however, the American students did not have the samepractical (i.e. in-lab) experience that French students would have by the same point in theiracademic careers, and that American engineering education tended to be more theoretical.

. Previous research supports science self-efficacy asbeing positively associated with achieving science literacy (Bryan, Glynn, & Kittleson, 2011)and science achievement (Britner & Pajares, 2001). This study examines if exposing students toyoung model “engineering experts” would impact middle schoolers’ science self-efficacy. If so,the motivation for k-12 teachers to invite engineers into their classroom is two fold. It increasesstudents’ awareness of engineering careers as well as increases student’s achievement in science.But would such a short intervention have an impact? Students were surveyed at the beginningand end of a one day event at Washington State University, which included “engineering experts”who interacted with the students in

lure of high salaries from the expansive local industry pulls most of our students away fromgraduate school. The average starting salary for the most recent graduates with a B.S. in chemicalengineering from LSU was ~$76,000 per year. We believe this is one reason less than 3% of ourstudents enroll in graduate programs. This (low level) graduate school enrollment trend is similarfor other regional institutions. In the last decade we have had only moderate success at recruitingengineering, physics, and chemistry undergraduates from these regional schools to enroll in aSTEM Ph.D. program. This REU program exposes students to exciting graduate research andincreases interest in career paths made possible through graduate degrees. This is a benefit

expectations may result in more instability than most haveexperienced in their young lives. Students who do not swiftly recognize their deficiencies andadapt to more effective habits and tools may perform poorly in their classes, leading to low firstsemester GPAs. This in turn may cause them to question their career choice and doubt theirability to successfully complete the engineering program. Such negative self-belief could resultin a low retention rate for the College of Engineering.

Construction management programs across the nation haveadapted to the changing industry needs and trends by incorporating IPD and BIM into existingcourses or creating new courses. Although educating students about the differences between IPDand other more traditional project delivery methods is seemingly straightforward, teaching thecollaborative skills needed for IPD is difficult, especially when students lack the discipline-specific expertise upon which IPD relies. These educational challenges make the relationshipbetween industry and academia of utmost importance.This
