Cupriavidus necator). R. eutropha is a soil bacterium that is the model organism for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) bioplastic synthesis. He examined the biology of the PHA biosynthetic machinery and gene expression changes throughout PHA homeostasis. Also, he supervised a metabolic engineering project where R. eutropha was converted from a PHA producing organism to an isobutanol biofuel producing organism. Prof. Brigham joins Wentworth Institute of Technology from the Bioengineering Department at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where he was an Assistant Profes- sor. At UMass Dartmouth, Prof. Brigham expanded his interests further, examining material properties of biopolymers like PHA and chitin, producing

work.Theoretical Framing: Social Cognitive Career TheorySocial Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), developed by Lent, Brown, and Hackett [15-16] as anextension of Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory (1986), posits that career development (careerinterests, career choice, career performance) is influenced by the interactions of cognitive-personand environmental variables. Cognitive-person variables are described as being made up of threeinterrelated components: self-efficacy beliefs, outcome expectations, and personal goals.Environmental variables, often referred to as proximate or background contextual factors, referto influences from the individual’s environment (such as the presence or absence of socialsupports, role models, or access to material
