Background Goal-Congruity Theory (GCT) states that people are more likely to pursue a career thataffords the values they endorse (Diekman, 2010). From the perspective of a student, thereare two places that values are important: 1) what values does a student personally holddear? and 2) what opportunities does a student believe a given career provides for? Whenthese two types of values are

Prior to reaching middle school, girls have been found to have lowerinterest in STEM careers than boys, especially for math-intensive fields such asengineering. 1,2 This lack of interest has been connected to a narrow and often inaccurateview of the engineering profession and the perceived misalignment between whatengineers do

EngagedAbstract Low enrollment and high attrition rates have often plagued Engineering and EngineeringTechnology programs. Part of this problem can be attributed to the lack of engaging hands-onactivities during the first year of instruction. Most engineering and technology programs requirestudents to take natural science, math and some general education courses during the first twoyears with minimal technical content. To maintain student’s interest in the technical career path,it is important that students establish a link between the theoretical knowledge and its applicationto solve real life problems early in their learning experience. Simulation based activities have aproven record as instructional tool. Such activities have been used

policy that might address the gaps.Until recently, the inequality has been explained as being consistent with the natural differencesbetween the sexes. One school of thought believes that women’s innate capability limits them tothose disciplines or careers seen to be more attuned to female characteristics. The other school ofthought believes that there is no difference between female and male intellectual capability andwomen can be as successful in the hard sciences as men. The difference, they say, only exists inindividuals and not tied to sex. The history of the general belief that engineering is not forwomen could be traced back to the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century.

This paper examines some of the reasons behind this condition, including thecontinued emphasis some universities place on traditional Ph.D. programs that are geared to thepreparation of students for faculty positions rather than entry into industrial careers. Theeconomic downturn has forced industry to cut back on internal R&D expenditures, making iteven more important to find ways of encouraging industry to partner with academe to help meetthe continuing need for technological innovation. This paper focuses on some new developmentsin engineering doctoral education that meet this need while continuing to satisfy academicprogram requirements. The new approach calls for a
