For many college students,internships are viewed as a critical career move and they continue to line up and compete forthese unpaid positions, believing that they will reap future dividends [33]. Evaluating the Internship Evaluations of students by their employers can be a valuable tool used by campuses torevise their academic programs to better meet industry needs. Colleges and universities struggleto keep pace with employers demands and are constantly revising curriculua to improveeducational value. By surveying employers for their level of satisfaction with interns, collegesand

Theseadvisors initially meet with matriculating advisees at new student orientation in the summer andthen once a semester thereafter to discuss courses and career planning. While advising isconsidered a component of teaching as a part of the promotion and tenure process at ourinstitution, historically the quality of advising as a student learning experience is not evaluated.Methods commonly used to assess teaching quality are not conducted regularly or at all foradvising.

However, internshipexperiences are not equally accessed by all undergraduate engineering students [4], as it is firmlyestablished that minoritized students may encounter institutional barriers to career resources andbe stymied in their professional careers by structural inequities, leading to lower senses ofbelonging and uncertain professional identities [5]–[7].

These trendssignificantly impact the professional and career trajectories of students and limit the diversificationof the STEM workforce. For example, according to Pew Research Center Black and Hispanicgroups continue to be underrepresented in STEM fields [4]. Today the Black communitycompromises 9% of all STEM workers, while 7% of the total STEM population is represented bythe Hispanic community.

The development of leadership is especially important for students whowish to pursue management careers including project management (PM) which is a highlyneeded and promising career path. Few undergraduate students are exposed to PM during theirundergraduate curriculum, and most PM courses are based on literature and reading.

Students were left to develop this ability on their own when needed later in their collegiate career” [5]. • “Having just completed two decades in the auto industry, I was surprised that foundational courses did not include significant coding, so, previously, I had my students complete programming activities beyond those in the initial standard curriculum” [6
