factors intheir overall influence. Many CM programs require students to participate in service projectssuch as Habitat for Humanity. These hands-on activities related to construction would be asuccessful endeavor for programs to use for recruitment. Also, a service-learning component canbe added into the curriculum and be connected to engagement in the community. Most studentsare from this Midwestern state, so perhaps using current students to develop these activitieswould enhance interest. If the largest influences of students were “hands-on” and “outside” work, then CM programsshould consider community-service type activities as an intervention to increase interest inprograms. The youth of today are very focused on immediate success. However

The common engineeringteaching paradigm divides complex problems into many pieces which students are then taught tosolve independently, all the while anticipating that eventually, they will “be able to develop asolution by combining them…Eventually...the effort involved in learning about the small piecesis so overwhelming that we can longer synthesize the original problem–the parts become moreimportant than the whole.”1 Further, the engineering curricular focus on solving “one problem ata time,” assuming a singular answer or solution, stands in direct contrast to “the history ofmodern technology and society in all its vital messy complexity.”2 As Charles Vest, formerPresident of MIT writes, “There are two

This pilotstudy was designed to answer the following questions, “What are school counselors’understanding of engineering” and “What is the self-reported need for and support desired byprofessional school counselors to aid their work with academic and career development relatedto students and engineering?” An online survey instrument was developed to collect informationfrom school counselors about (1) their

The lowest measure was in the Degree of EngineeringIntegration, suggesting that teachers are still largely enacting engineering activities separate fromthe standard course of study rather than enacting integrated project-based learning. Thinkingabout the summer camp experience as PD, this is consistent with the fact that summer camplessons are not contextualized within the teachers’ classroom standard course of study. Teachersmay need to be engaged in additional reflection to increase their competency in integratingengineering into their existing curriculum.
