Insights into how Engineering Students Think about their Future Career PlansAbstractThis research paper describes findings from a qualitative analysis of engineering students’ self-reported future career plans on the 2015 Engineering Majors Survey (EMS). The EMS wasdesigned to examine current engineering students’ career goals, especially surroundinginnovative work, and is based in the theoretical framework of Social Cognitive Career Theory(SCCT). With the open-ended responses on the EMS, we can develop a deeper understanding ofstudents’ plans in their own words, providing insights into how they think about their careers andwhy they

willingness to adopt innovation by using teacher createdlesson plans as a source of data.In our prior work, we have empirically documented a number of potential indicators that areassociated with teacher potential to adopt innovations. Our goal for this project was to gainsome foundational understanding of how teachers plan to teach engineering, and their attentionto implementing other educational innovations. To achieve this goal, we analyzed a sample of42 teacher created lesson plans drawn from a larger sample of over 300 STEM related lessonplans. We found that the teachers communicated incomplete understanding of engineeringpractices and design, yet created plans that shared the responsibility for assignment decisionswith the students.
