Reflection activities may enable students to do things such as consolidate theirlearning and think critically about how their current course material can be applied to futurework in the real world. Moreover, armed with insights from student responses to reflectionactivities, educators may be able to do things such as better attune to areas of student confusionand adjust their teaching style to help improve students’ understanding of course material.However, there is little data on how students experience reflection activities and even less dataon how educators perceive such activities. How do we go about broadly appreciating theknowledge gains that can and do result from engagement in reflection activities?We

course of theircareers. For this reason, we now turn our attention to the literature on engineers’ career paths.Part 2: Engineers’ career pathsMost studies on engineers’ career paths are premised on a dual track model attributed to humanresource managers in the 1950s who were motivated to institutionalize a technical incentivestructure to improve the retention of high performing engineers [2, 4-6, 43, 44]. Stated simply,this model proposes that engineers can either: 1) ascend a traditional management hierarchy,gaining authority over larger numbers of employees with each step (management ladder), or 2)move through successive technical titles associated with salary increases, higher status, greaterresponsibility, and increased autonomy (technical

First, employees become moreintrinsically motivated when basic psychological needs are met, pursuing their daily workactivities out of a sense of enjoyment and interest in those activities. Second, employees who areautonomously motivated internalize extrinsic motivations, such as the values of the organizationor of their own workgroup [5]. Both types of autonomous motivation are responsible forimproved intentions and behaviors associated with boosting physical health and safety [11], aswell as increased persistence, greater satisfaction, and improvements in overall well-being[12][13].

What is not often taught, however,are the various skills necessary in the social processes that make teaming effective:communication, delegation, and conflict resolution, to name a few [30]–[32]. The socialcircumstances in which these skills become relevant can reveal hidden epistemologies that guidethe teaming process, especially when gender differences and dynamics are considered [21].Within engineering, these epistemologies are woven into the culture of engineering learningenvironments and often the engineering field itself [18].

This iswhat is often called top-down design. Bottom-up (or concrete to abstract) design is also useful insystems engineering. When designing a rocket for example, it is more cost effective to choosebetween existing rocket engines (highly complex pieces of machinery) then to design one fromscratch.

Technology programs are experiencing many ofthe same pressures at the beginning of the 21st century as the nascent engineering educationprograms did at the beginning of the 20th century; how do we get people to take us seriously, asprofessionals? How do we best serve our students and the industries into which they are hired?How do we best prepare people to go directly to work versus preparing to enter advancededucation or research? What courses are important to what makes the graduate successful?Research indicates that engineering educators’ answers to these questions lead to the knowledgegap that was filled by technology programs. Now that technology educators are asking
