outstanding work ethic,• A high-touch approach, working closely with each student to achieve success,• A strong connection to employers who assist in setting the curriculum and in screening, educating, and evaluating the progress of the students, and• A close partnership with Mississippi PK-12 schools.Students attend class during normal business hours, five days a week, and participate in an activelearning environment. There is very little lecture, with most time spent on hands-on activities. Inaddition to technical content, students also receive guidance on professional development topicssuch as resume development, workplace communication, and interviewing skills. Service-basedlearning is a component of both academies with students giving back to
out undesired experiences in eachdepartment based on social consensus.MethodsBefore conducting this study, an ethics protocol was submitted and accepted by the research ethicsboard of the institution (ID: 36998). An online survey was distributed to engineering doctoralcandidates across engineering departments at [name withheld] in early 2019. The survey questionswere intended to collect information about the demographics of candidates (i.e., home department,year taken, type of exam, etc.) as well as their perceived experiences and thoughts on the purposeand utility of the CQ exam. The survey was pilot tested by 3 external reviewers, points ofclarification were noted, and survey questions were adjusted accordingly and finalized once theauthors

professional skills.Scholarly journal articlesThere are scholarly journal articles that report results of surveys of employers and alumni onwhich skills are most important for early-career engineers. Most of these articles are not specificto ME. Many of the following articles are discussed in Ref. [17].Tryggvason et al. report on a major revision of the ME curriculum at the University of Michigan[18]. This revision was informed by a survey taken in 1993 in which alumni rated courses andtopics based on their importance; design and creativity, technical communication, interpersonalskills, and professional ethics were rated as the most important; alumni also stated that they werenot as well-prepared in these areas as they were in traditional ME technical
intervention:Traditionally, engineering has been viewed purely as a technical problem-solvingdiscipline [11], pushing engineers into the real world with a “one-size-fits-all” approach.Consequently, advanced technological solutions to problems around the world are beingcarried out with little understanding of the solution’s local economic, social, and/orenvironmental impacts. To bring about social justice and sustainability throughengineering solutions, values and ethics must be at the forefront of current engineeringcurricula. A socio-technical project-based learning model is implemented in this course[12] with contextualized design problems.

Feisel and Rosa outline13 potential learning objectives that include instrumentation, models, and data analysis, but alsocreativity, ethics, and sensory awareness [1]. Educators across science and engineering areworking on shifting from cookbook laboratories to more authentic scientific experiences [2-4].Round and Lom describe a “continuum of autonomy, responsibility, and immersion” in labexperiences, with cookbook labs at the lowest level and apprenticeship in a research lab at thehighest level [5].The integration of lecture and laboratory experiences is effective for linking the theoretical andpractical and for increasing student
promotion of professional societies, industryinput is blended with current skill needs to provide a means to express competency throughpractice (e.g., apprenticeship or experience). These mechanisms are consistent with the BOK andvalidated by a community of professional peers.Body of Knowledge Development ProcessAM will thrive as a field with a strong base of professionals who share a common set of ethics andknowledge based on a BOK. An AM BOK, in the context of a professional model like the onedepicted in Figure 1, will also ensure that formal learning frameworks and industry competenciesmutually reinforce. To this end, we are developing an AM BOK to test and refine in the contextof a large-scale triangulation of AM program syllabi, job posting

fundamentals portion of the class, which occurs threes time per week and isled by a faculty member, students are introduced to engineering problem solving; get exposed toengineering ethics; and learn how to use computer software for word processing, spreadsheets,and programming in C/C++ and MATLAB. In the laboratory portion of the class, which occursonce per week and is led by a graduate teaching associate (GTA), students conduct bench-topexperiments to investigate fundamental engineering concepts, with a variety of experiences tointroduce elements of each of the engineering disciplines in which a student could choose tomajor. Lab reports or lab memos are assigned most weeks to develop technical writtencommunication skills. Several of the lab reports
included making sure that students hadexperience with team diversity and conflict. Five of the participants reported that their team hadnot been “in sync.” Two other participants reported that their teams were split on whether tolaunch their project as a startup. As one participant reported, their team’s dynamics started on theright path but did not go as well toward the end of the project. The goal, he said, was to get thegrade and not to pursue the project. As another participant put it, his assigned team had noguarantee of a common work ethic or a common vision.A third factor involves lack of passion for the project. These results were aggregated into the“not among students’ main goals” factor in Fig. 1 but are striking enough to merit

The Baby Boomer generation, who are now retiring in record numbers, desireda steady career path, valued a strong work ethic, and hoped that company loyalty would lead toappropriate compensation [1]. The Generation X workforce preferred an improved work-balancethat resulted in job satisfaction and stability with a focus on individual advancement [1].Millennials, formally known as Gen Y, have seen downsizing, hiring practices with 2-3 yearcontracts to keep the

As a result, students who are able to demonstrate that they have acquired the skills andqualities of leaders are at an advantage over those who have just learned basic skills [5].Educators are increasingly expected to ready students for college and career; these skillstranscend content knowledge but also provides students with employability skills that will enablethem to quickly adjust to their new roles and be prepared to adapt and further their careers [6].Gaining

For instance, raising student awareness regarding licensing issues forprojects using a proprietary database such as Nexis Uni® is important. Automated text and datamining are not allowed in Nexis Uni® and other library databases, thereby restricting someprojects proposed by students. We need increased opportunities to teach ethical and legal issuesin working with data and to teach students that not all data are free and unrestricted.Data analytics is different from other academic programs because the learning outcomes areabout developing techniques and selecting analyses; instead of instilling knowledge about asubject, the goal is to develop a skill-set

It is always recommended for students todeclare the minor early so they can plan for the required courses.

U.S.filled in 47% of all jobs but only 24% of the STEM jobs [6]. In other words, 76% of the STEMjobs are held by men. In community services, women had a volunteer rate of 27.8% in 2015compared to men 21.8%. Women volunteered at a higher rate than men and this was true acrossall age groups, educational levels, and major demographics characteristics (such as race andemployment status) [7].Influence is closely associated with leadership. A capable leader provides guidance at theworkplace, home, and/or community [8]. It follows that, those influencing are consideredefficient leaders that motivate their colleagues, family or community [9, 10].
