The summer programis designed for each student to mentor each other as they have varied social and academicbackgrounds. Another important aspect of the program is for participants to meet with current UNMSOE graduate students doing research that summer which may help them clarify their area ofgraduate study or research they wish to follow.

of women remaining and persisting in STEM fields. One ofthese is Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE). Extensive research is foundin the literature supporting the benefits of a CURE pedagogy, including its positive influence onSTEM retention and progression to graduate school [8] – [13]. For example, according to Harriset al., students’ interest in pursuing scientific studies may increase because of researchexperiences [9]. Mendoza and Brown discuss that CUREs are well-documented, and that it isgenerally agreed that they are positive experiences for students [13]. They also note that researchexperiences are considered high impact and lead to student success, engagement, interest inhigher education and skills development [13

literature review, which also confirms theexisting research on the subject, is a limited correlation between the anticipated skillsetsby the three involved stakeholders: industry, academia, and the students. Moreover, thestudies show that academic performance is not necessarily followed by success at work(Gibbs & Simpson, 2005). Academia and industry have different, sometimes oppositeunderstanding on how and what skills future engineers should acquire prior to enteringthe workforce (Lucietto et al., 2021). More than twice as much education providers asemployers believe that the graduates are adequately prepared for employment (Craps etal., 2017).

Although this study surveyed only faculty and alumni of Purdue University, andgeneralizing these findings to broader level would be inappropriate from a true research point ofview, the fact remains that graduate education for technologists is an important issue that mustbe addressed. As more individuals graduated from technology-related programs enter the work force, the needfor graduate education
