Insights into how Engineering Students Think about their Future Career PlansAbstractThis research paper describes findings from a qualitative analysis of engineering students’ self-reported future career plans on the 2015 Engineering Majors Survey (EMS). The EMS wasdesigned to examine current engineering students’ career goals, especially surroundinginnovative work, and is based in the theoretical framework of Social Cognitive Career Theory(SCCT). With the open-ended responses on the EMS, we can develop a deeper understanding ofstudents’ plans in their own words, providing insights into how they think about their careers andwhy they

’ Academic and Career PlansAbstractUndergraduate research experiences in engineering have recently received significant interest asmechanisms for attracting undergraduates to graduate-level work. In particular, the NationalScience Foundation’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) initiative aims to recruitstudents to careers in research. Our work employs a social cognitive theoretical framework toinvestigate how participation in a summer undergraduate research program influencesparticipants’ academic and career plans (specifically plans to pursue a Ph.D.) and their self-efficacy for future scientific research. A mixed-methods approach, incorporating surveyinstruments, interviews, and weekly self-reflective journal entries, was utilized to

We conclude by discussing some ideas and plans for improved methods of organizationand administration of our interdepartmental Senior Design program that will hopefully help tomake it even more successful and better-integrated in the future.History of the Interdepartmental Senior Design Collaboration at Our College Prior to 2006, many failed attempts had been made in our College to adequately integratecross-disciplinary teams of engineering students in the senior capstone design projects. One ofthe main reasons for these earlier difficulties was the disparity between capstone designcurricular structures between the different departments. Until 2006, the Mechanical Engineering(ME) department was
