Engineering faculty included individuals with degrees inengineering, engineering technology, construction management, physics, and/or architecture.Additional data was gathered as benchmarks to compare to the LTS faculty. Faculty data wasgathered from the ASEE profiles, and more specific information from the ASEE EngineeringData Management System.36 This provided information on the ranks of engineering faculty forthe institutions with engineering degrees around the U.S. When combined with informationfrom the Carnegie Classifications, the distribution of

employed in the professionsand other non-engineering occupations did not. Additionally, graduates working in fields suchas informational technology, business, and the military tended not to perceive themselves asworking in engineering; nonetheless, many of these graduates self-identified as an engineer andhad plans to pursue engineering work in the future. Our findings demonstrate future researchdirections for the study of what it means to do engineering work. They also highlight a need forimproved career preparation, counseling, and development among early career engineeringgraduates and students.IntroductionSince a student earning an engineering bachelor’s degree no longer presupposes that he or shewill pursue an engineering job,1 finding ways
and design in the arts. Themes related toscience and engineering were preferred but were not mandatory. A public exhibition of studentworks was held at the end of the course, and it was reported that many of the studentsappreciated the chance to experience the process of design and creation outside their field.Ottino [15] offers an interesting perspective on the intersection of art and engineering, notingthat “engineers equate art with paintings, photographs, and sculptures, and leave out conceptualart, installations, and much more. Artists equate engineering with technology and not with thehuman factors and passions that animate it.” He goes on to suggest that engineers “and artistscan connect through the need to make things, rather than

programs, a critical first step is to understand the entrepreneurialinterests and characteristics of undergraduate engineering students as compared with studentsmajoring in business. Comparing these two groups of students suggests some of the ways thatbusiness-based courses might be modified for an engineering audience. In addition, someentrepreneurship programs are designed to service engineering and business majors;understanding how these students compare in terms of entrepreneurial interests andcharacteristics would allow for a better designed course for both groups of students. Nabi et al.have reported that business students showed higher entrepreneurial intent than did engineeringand technology students, based on their survey of undergraduate
25 students and we are becoming more established oncampus with each additional semester. We have had 24 graduates with placement in both industryand graduate school. Each year approximately 60 students hear our informational presentationsand seek information about the program.The program allows students exceptional flexibility in designing a degree program to meet theirneeds. Requirements ensure that the students cover areas within engineering and outside ofengineering and we focus on the application of technology. Our requirements are designed to beagile in that students can quickly piece together degree programs in "hot" areas.We have formulated research questions based on the needs of our key stakeholders. In thisreport, we present
with specific outreach goals. Ultimately, the varied learning, social, and logicalmodels being used to shape engineering and physics outreach which can aid in programtransferability are showcased along with how pedagogical theories can advance the goals ofengineering and physics outreach programs.Introduction Motivated by a desire to introduce new solvers into the world, there is a national push toincrease the number of students pursuing and obtaining science, technology, engineering, andmathematic degrees. University-driven outreach to preschool through 12th grade students is oneway to encourage this next generation. Outreach programs exist from single day events [1] toweek long summer camps, to more continuous STEM clubs [2]. Many
