engineers do not return to graduate school or academicwork, seeing no relevance to their career path and calling into question the merit of graduateprograms. The NAE report included a recommendation that reinforces this reality: “Institutions should encourage domestic students to obtain M.S. and Ph.D. degrees.”[6]The absence of practice experienced engineers brings an unfortunate reality in depriving ouracademic and research community of an essential resource, exacting a terrible toll on America’spipeline of innovation and technology. The fallout of this evolution is that today’s research anddevelopment is conducted with a capital “R”, but a lower case “d”.

Also, there is a great need to enhance a dialogue between community collegeleaders and employers related to students’ career pathways [21]. Employers can help institutionswith career pathways to ensure that students are being prepared for economically viable jobs.

Hewitt.11 Seymour and Hewitt found that students who leave STEMfields do not differ significantly on measures of performance, motivation, or study-relatedbehavior. In interviews with leavers about departing STEM, the students most often citefrustration with the experience in the discipline including criticism of the quality of teaching,advising, and curriculum design. Further students expressed frustration with uninteresting andcontent-laden courses that led to an increasingly negative perception of STEM careers and anoverall disinterest in the subject matter. As a result, much of the focus in engineering educationhas focused on developing engaging classroom experiences through curricular and pedagogicalinnovations.12,13,14,15 This focus has
