Academia hasalso noted the importance of developing professional skills in ABET Student Outcomes (ABET,2021, pp. 8–9) and the Educating the Engineer of 2020 report from the National Academy ofEngineering (2004). Experiential learning is one way that academia has changed in response,which can take place inside and outside of the

education in 2040 as more accessible,inclusive, and equitable, highlighting the important role of community colleges in making thishappen [3]. An important need emerged, “to put less value on degree and more on competencies,experiences, and skills.” This need was supported by employers’ preference for “critical thinkerswho can apply learned information and skills to become specialists with on-the-job training” [3].In Broadening Participation in STEM: Effective Methods, Practices, and Programs,Wilson-Kennedy, et al., (2019) compiled fourteen case study programs and their high impactpractices (HIPs) that improved inclusion and success of underrepresented persons in STEM [4].Importantly, some of the HIPS are related to Experiential Learning, defined

We can theninfer whether the intern program is contributing toward the two DoE goals and the Justice40objective. The survey results will also provide an indirect ABET assessment of our engineeringprograms.Over the coming years, our team will establish a cadence of candidate recruitment, programoperation, survey administration, and analysis of survey results. Survey results will be used toimprove program operations, improve data collection, and inform our evaluation of the DoE andJustice40 goals.
