Dan’s vision long-term goal to be employable hasn’t happened and locates himself as “sitting in a void” reconciling with how to modify his plan or where things went wrong. Dan’s internalized yearly failures - the first 2 years of co-op/intern rejections as his lack of soft skills (being personable) and the third year as bad luck because of COVID—are from poor planning that should have been more career-oriented. Dan found the arts helpful to his personal growth and related more to these participating members than engineers.

My name is Cassandra Prince (she/her/hers) and I am a third year Civil Engineering Major/Business Minor at the University of Texas at Austin. I was born and raised in the Austin area and I plan to graduate from UT Austin in May of 2022. I have gotten to work for several civil engineering companies such as TxDOT, CobbFendley, and Volkert through internships. In my time at UT Austin, I have gotten involved in organizations such as the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Women in Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering Organization through the Women in Engineering Program, a Lab Assistant through the university, and the LGBQTies, or the LGBTQIA+ engineering organization at UT Austin.

The idea is to guidestudents to manage better the science sciences courses (first year) that do not bring the practicalconnection to the construction engineering profession.ConclusionsIn this section, we answer the two research questions of the study, reflect upon the study resultsand propose future actions for the program.

In addition to loop control, Babbage alsoforesaw sequential control and branching (or decision making). Arguably, Babbage’s AnalyticalEngine represents the transition from mechanized arithmetic (addition, subtraction,multiplication, and division) to fully-fledged general-purpose computation (loop, sequentialcontrol, and branching) of today, although as the Computer History Museum notes, there is nocontinual line of development from Babbage’s engines to the computers of today [15].

These core skills include principals of science, mathematics, and areas of design and research for a practical application, which can include complex biological systems. They also include knowledge of the engineering design process, including planning, establishing processes, evaluating, and a focus on pragmatic outcomes. The report notes that even though the subject matter will evolve and technology will change, these core skills will remain.  Practical ingenuity.

Because the cost of higher education is significant,many rural potential students become work-bound as well while saving for school. In Burnell’sstudy of 26 college-able, work-bound rural students, 0 of 26 planned to attend college rightaway. However, they shared the characteristic of “goal-directedness”, and those with long-termcollege plans were either working to raise money for college or doing a vocational sequence witha long-term college goal in that industry.A similar cause for being place-bound exists amongst metropolitan area populations.

At the institutional level it is understoodas a mechanism that contributes to reducing attrition rates and enhancing recruitment plans butthere is a scarcity of empirical research related to PhD programs to understand this phenomenon.Contemporarily, Di Pierro [15] conceptualized doctoral mentoring as part of an institution’spragmatic retention plan to counter economic losses, potential loss in Carnegie classification, andvoids in research. Thus, mentoring should not be thought of as a disjointed obscure process, butone that is integrated and benchmarked as part of an institution’s best practices particularly forunderrepresented populations. For individual students mentoring often times is described as akey

volunteerism rates evenlower. According to Seemiller and Grace [11], approximately one third of college-bound GenerationZ students plan on volunteering as part of their co-curricular activities in college. Actual volunteerismrates once on campus are closer to six percent for Generation Z students [11, p.121]. Furthermore, thisdecline in volunteerism is seen across the spectrums of both gender and race [11]. Yet, Generation Z is profoundly we-focused. Shouldn’t their rates of volunteerism be evenhigher than those of me-centric Millennials? It may be the case that Generation Z isn’t seeking outtraditional volunteer opportunities once favored by Millennials: short-term and focused on symptomsof a greater problem [14].
