Labor Statistics (BLS) [7], engineering graduates are among themost highly paid entry-level college-educated new hires. Thus, enrollment figures in engineeringdisciplines are higher than in most other majors. Therefore, offering new engineering programs ispotentially an attractive option for liberal-arts colleges, many of which are experiencing declin-ing student enrollment, and revenues. Our research has indicated that among the engineeringfields, mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering have the largest student enrollments. This isillustrated in Fig. 1 below [3]. Even though biomedical engineering is a younger and smaller en-gineering filed, it is among the fastest growing engineering fields and is especially popular withfemale students

In this same speech the President talked about the fact that less than 60% ofstudents seeking undergraduate degrees in engineering persist to graduation. This fact was usedto highlight the need for federal support for programs aimed at reforming science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. This comes as little surprise to engineeringeducators who have been working for decades to identify and address the reasons students leavethe STEM disciplines2,3.Much of the research on increasing persistence in engineering focuses on freshmen studentsbecause most

Typical approaches includecoursework (e.g. Project Lead The Way), robotics programs (e.g. FIRST), STEM exposure days(e.g. STEM Career Day), hands-on outreach to local schools, etc. Indeed, approaches tomotivate often do not stop even when STEM students are on campus, with first-year disciplinarycourses including hands-on activities aimed at cultivating interest and motivation for that major.While education and exposure are important steps, many students in STEM areas still have littleidea of what would be a “typical day” for them at the workplace (once they graduate).Accordingly, the University of Akron has developed the
