Theirexperience is like the K-12 school environment. However, they have advanced knowledge andskills of their critical role in society. They can offer a realistic model for K-12 students to guidetheir career choice and to become motivated for STEM college education. In addition, collegestudents benefit from these experiences by

this early-age exposure. A 2007 studyindicates that the “shut up and learn” approach to teaching, while widely accepted, is notnecessarily effective. In this study [8], a survey of 2,500 pupils indicates that the two mostcommon uses of class time are copying from a board or book and listening to the teacher talk forextended periods of time; whereas the two least common uses of class time are studying real-world applications and learning through experience. Scholars have observed that shifts towardshands-on and individually-engaging activities often radically change students’ perceptions oftheir place in STEM fields and their plans for future education and career paths.Many educators in STEM suggest that the best way to introduce very young

Due to this neglect, many engineering studentscomplete their engineering courses with the ability to solve complex engineering problems but nodesire to further explore the topics they have learned. In fact, in some cases STEM students leavetheir classes feeling that the topics that they learn about are unrelated to the real world andfrivolous. Because of this emotional response it is becoming common to see students graduatingfrom university with degrees in STEM but no plans to pursue a career in a STEM field[1].Although the Mechanical Engineering curriculum at the University of Colorado has a significantemphasis on design, all the formal design

Prior studies have shown that thehigher the engineering identity of students, the more likely they are to continue to studyengineering majors and engage in related jobs [1]. Generally, choosing and pursuing engineering majors is a prerequisite for studentsto enter the engineering field. However, due to the absence of engineering-relatedcourses in primary and secondary schools, most students have no real exposure toengineering experiences before entering university, which

While advising isconsidered a component of teaching as a part of the promotion and tenure process at ourinstitution, historically the quality of advising as a student learning experience is not evaluated.Methods commonly used to assess teaching quality are not conducted regularly or at all foradvising.

However, internshipexperiences are not equally accessed by all undergraduate engineering students [4], as it is firmlyestablished that minoritized students may encounter institutional barriers to career resources andbe stymied in their professional careers by structural inequities, leading to lower senses ofbelonging and uncertain professional identities [5]–[7].
