Students gained valuable transferable skills while workingon this project including creative thinking, audience awareness, teamwork, technical writing,visual design, and communication. The authors of this paper, who include the students thatworked on the project, aim to promote and encourage the idea of undergraduate students activelyengaging and creating STEM programs and initiatives for K-12.IntroductionThe idea of STEM education has been around since the early 1900’s. Originally called, SMET(science, mathematics, engineering, and technology), educators focused on instructing studentsin skills that would benefit their future societies[1]. The idea of enriching these fields by creatingstudents well versed in them quickly

ASEE paper at the annual conference focused on servicelearning. It had 6 authors, including 2 engineering faculty, three non-engineering faculty, and anindividual from a K-12 school district. 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

literature on quality in engineering education, accreditationis the predominant theme [4]–[8]. Engineering has been a pioneer in a discipline-specificaccreditation process, which serves as a model for other professional disciplines [6].The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) implemented in 1997 anew set of accreditation standards (Engineering Criteria 2000, EC2000), after which alearning outcomes assessment protocol became central for quality assurance models inundergraduate engineering programs [9] [10] [11]. Different international accreditationagencies for engineering programs have since agreed to define comparable learning outcomesthat shape the current quality standards in the discipline [12][13]. The latter has impacted

Basedupon this, we conclude that the communicative and technological skills required in the internshipaligned with our micro-credential goals.CONCLUSION AND LIMITATIONSThis program is in its infancy: we’ve only just now begun the second cohort, and the pandemicgreatly impacted our ability to secure students. Nonetheless, we think reporting out on thisproject is worthwhile for a number of reasons. First, data science is an increasingly importantpart of STEM education, but its locale within academic programs is inconsistent and notnecessarily within engineering programs’ footprints. We hope this program offers a blueprint forhow interdisciplinary and engineering programs might

These issues have arisen primarily due to a gradual shift in demographicsof engineering versus engineering technology students, combined with higher requirements forentry into the new engineering programs brought about by the increased mathematical rigor. Thedepartmental focus on equity and inclusion mirrors a unified effort at the university and collegelevels, particularly relating to expanded access to majors that are in the highest demand (i.e.,predominantly STEM majors). To tackle these equity and inclusion issues, there are twodepartment-specific attrition points the program under study is designed to address: • To formally enter the engineering programs and to be able to graduate in 4 years, all admitted engineering
