This marked difference in earning potential serves as a key factor influencing ashift in career trajectory, occurring either before or after undergraduate studies. Unfortunately,many students overlook crucial aspects such as job salary and availability when selecting theirundergraduate major. While personal interest often guides this choice, studies reveal that familialand peer pressure also plays a substantial role [2,3], leading students to pursue majors that maynot align with their passion or offer favorable job prospects and income.

Despite this need, only few students are able to or willing to have a studyabroad experience. The 2013 Open Doors report from the Institute for International Educationshows that nationally only 3.9% of engineering students studied abroad during theirundergraduate career [2]. In addition, despite the growing awareness of the benefits of studyabroad by students, the challenges preventing students from studying abroad are numerous andcomplex [2].

This is still true today.However, most engineers did not have the benefit of studying management or business in themidst of a rigorous engineering curriculum. Graduate school, or trial by fire seemed to be theonly options for those engineers. However, Professor Sarchet came to UMR, a campus thatat the time did not have a school of business, and proceeded to develop a curriculum thatblended the rigors of a traditional engineering and science degree with courses that provideda strong foundation in business and management. Many who have knowledge ofEngineering Management at UMR believe that if a business

This pilot was hosted at one institution (Mississippi State University) and was designed to teach a college-level cybersecurity course to 25 AF JROTC cadets in high school. In 2021, the Cyber Academy moved to a distributed model taught at five institutions. In total, the Academy was designed to reach 100 AF JROTC cadets, 20 cadets at each host institu- tion receiving very similar core
