there islittle attention being given at the level recommended in 1986. Considered along with the resultsof this study, below are the key areas that should be prioritized within future work related toDDEPs: 1. Exploration of students’ experiences at HBCUs before and after attending PWIs 2. Increased understanding of students’ decision-making linked to the DDEP (to enroll versus staying at HBCU for an alternative 4-year degree) 3. Increased research using quantitative data related to DDEPs.The findings highlighted in the themes above emphasize the importance of further studying theexperiences of Black students who participate in DDEPs housed at HBCUs given the uniquecomponents of their journey that are not covered by studying

During the second project, the students were disinterested in performinginterdisciplinary work, yet they functioned on an interdisciplinary team of faculty and students,that included both biologists and chemists. Some of the interactions of that interdisciplinaryteam were strained however. The mechanical engineering students did not communicate wellwith the chemistry student. The communication was so bad that mechanical engineeringstudents believed that they could have completed the same tasks better without that student andwith the chemistry professor’s guidance.

She seemed to believe that if students want to make a choice to change their major that itmay be a personal or internal motivation. Maybe they are not happy with the courses, or thecourses are not what they expected.It seemed that she was willing to help the students transition to a new career field more quicklythan her co-worker Angela. Angela’s notes conveyed the impression that students needed to findout if this next major was in fact the best fit. She repeatedly reinforced that students should notmake a decision before doing some career exploration through the use of career services andinterviewing professionals in the chosen field. Both

Students were placed in small groups, and each person was assigned acountry from a different region of the world (e.g., one team had members assigned Egypt, SouthKorea, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Colombia, and Indonesia). The students assumed therole of managers of an international team of engineers from their assigned countries and had todetermine how to lead the team effectively. In the first part of the project, each group identifiedquestions they could ask to learn about the cultural and business practices in their countries.Each student then located and communicated with an engineer from their assigned country todiscuss those questions.

Engineering students, who can experience industry careers through internships,have no avenue to explore if a faculty position is right for them. As such, students frequently viewthe Ph.D. profession as just being a teacher and do not consider it due to this impression. Being afaculty member encompasses much more than students see through their university experience,from teaching requirements to scholarship and service.This paper posits the need for a shadowing program mimicking the structure of job shadowingprograms found in industry or commonly experienced in medical domains.

Forinstance, researchers found that students’ have broadened their perception of the skills required inCS [13] with more awareness of the non-technical or “soft” skills, such as reliability and teamwork,that are sought by employers [29].
