This meansthat there are many contingencies to investigate in terms of how students ultimately landin their first and subsequent jobs within the first few years of graduating. Providing somegranularity to the picture, Brunhaver’s study of recent engineering graduates indicatesthat while the majority of graduates were working in engineering-focused positions fouryears after graduation, about 20% of graduates were working in non-engineering focusedpositions.6 We note that although demographic factors did not seem to differentiatepathways at this stage, co

Thanks to the effort of those doing engineering outreach, this is slowlychanging. Outreach serves to increase both awareness and interest for engineering. MSE is oftenthe discipline of choice because of its diverse and tangible nature. For outreach to be successful,it needs to be accessible. Outreach

thatthere are difficulties in proper delivery of systems analysis and systems dynamics to engineeringstudents; the fact remains that: these tools are extremely useful for someone who plans tobecome a designer. Therefore, ways have to be found to enhance the understanding of systems’thinking, and at the same time, to develop educational experiences that could efficiently improvelearning outcomes.2) Looking at risk management and uncertainty: Engineering design is carried out relying onincomplete data, imperfect models, often with unclear objectives, and other potential problemsand constraints. The effects of such uncertainties on the design of a project may have seriousconsequences unless proper safeguards have been undertaken based on probabilistic

Fewer students actuallyenroll in post-secondary education than aspire to in high school, indicating that delayingenrollment makes students less likely to attend at all [5]. According to a 2001 National Centerfor Education Statistics report, only 54% of students whose parents had earned a high schooldiploma enrolled in college, and only 36% of students whose parents had not finished highschool enrolled.

and how project-based learning (PBL)takes the center stage in this strategy. We assert that building a camp or even a lesson plan fromlearning blocks creates a totally immersive and engaging environment for the learner and makes itmuch more plug-and-play for the designer/instructor.Our paper will also focus on implementing these learning blocks in a K-12 mixed environment (allgrade levels, male and female participants) versus a much more homogenous cohort (all highschool, all female) type of camp. A showcase of student products (from reflective pieces to actualcreations) will be discussed along with how “check-ins” are built into the learning blockchallenges; the latter as a means to embed assessment into the project workflows dynamically
