Many tech companies, after 9all, rely on “University Relations” staff to develop awareness for, and recruit to, their openundergraduate internship positions. As JFF concluded, many employers hosting communitycollege students for internships were unable to assess interns’ level of proficiency withtechnology in general, (Joy, 2022). In their study, JFF cited employers’ struggle to structurechallenge and rigor into the internship’s relatively short time frame. Additionally, they noted,community college students are generally diverse and

into three components of defining engineering problems,designing engineering solutions, and optimizing the design solution; yet it is not until grades9-12 that the standards insist that students should be assessing social and environmental impactsduring optimization of solutions [7]. Understanding the interdependence of engineering andsociety is only explored in a separate set of practices, in which language does not directly statethat engineering design can cause harm [7]. The omission of the developing engineeringsolutions surrounding reducing harm to people and the environment further supports claims thatharm reduction is considered an afterthought in engineering design [8], [9].

A few of the participants discussed challenges of working from home during COVID-19, missing out on the interactions with their colleagues and more importantly their supervisors.They also brought the lack of mentorship due to being away from the workplace. One of theparticipants relied on their mother to be their mentor, as she was a P.E. licensed engineer. As theparticipants brought up the ethical dilemmas they faced, most of them indicated that they did nothave any formal training on engineering ethics, and the courses they took in their universities (ifthere was one required for their degree) did not prepare them to

For the 2021cohort, we found that SW-PWI retained non-TU students at a significantly higher rate than TUstudents (𝜒2(1, N=207) =4.019, p=0.045), which aligns with broader trends related to academicpersistence gaps for traditionally underrepresented students in engineering [1].

pursuing higher education, we suggest faculty implement intentional reflection dur-ing and after team projects. This will allow students to recognize strengths and weaknesses oftheir team and also positively reframe and contextualize their experiences to be better preparedfor the future. This reflection can also help students learn more about their ideal working environ-ments and preferred tasks within a certain engineering field. Additionally, based on the experiences of multiple participants, it is beneficial to include in-dividual performance assessments or evaluations to help the professor understand teams’ dynam-ics. This would ultimately allow for intervention where necessary to foster better teammates andgroup attitudes. If a student

Currently, K-12 settings are the primary users of this framework, shaping thecurricular activities, exploring new ways to integrate these five disciplines, and researching the content,pedagogy, and assessment related to this field.

. As a result they either tune out or never develop a deepunderstating of the materials and simply imitate mechanical operations and the essential analysisand arguments necessary to solve the problem. One common criticism of the PBL method is thatstudents may not recognize what might be important for them to learn, so the facilitator must beextra careful to assess each student’s prior knowledge. Another criticism is that instructorscannot cover as much material as the traditional method. Furthermore, the method is hard toimplement and there are different definition and interpretation of the strategy and the manner ofits implementation, within instruction, appears to be ad hoc. PBL requires a lot of planning andextensive work by the instructor
