However, it is widelyrecognized that Technology is today undergoing major changes. The training of these futureprofessionals needs to be reviewed and updated. The traditional educational approach consistedof theoretical lectures complemented by hands-on experiences in the laboratory. However, at thepresent time, students will have to compete in a career that demands not only that they be well-trained professionals, but also that they possess a broad vision of the profession (Buchal, 1997).To provide the breadth of

the project, VADER-1 and VADER-2were developed to enhance first- and second-year students’ self-efficacy and retention in AE/Cprograms. VADER-R, aimed at recruiting high school and community college students into AE/Cprograms, is under development. VADER-1 and VADER-2 were implemented in 10 courses (405students) across three institutions in Fall 2023. The impact of VADERs was assessed throughreflection surveys guided by Social Cognitive Career Theory, pre- and post-domain knowledgequizzes, and time-stamped click-stream data reflecting student interactions within the virtualenvironment.1.

To help all students develop the skills necessary to attract, retain,and consider the needs of diverse populations, engineering students need to consider socialresponsibility in the context of their engineering careers and scope of practice [6].To help promote engineering students’ ability to develop their social responsibility capacity, theUniversity of Massachusetts Lowell S-STEM program began with an initial plan to recruit threecohorts of 8 low-income, high-achieving students (24 students total) who wish to pursue a careerin higher education (e.g., faculty at community colleges or universities) and engage them inongoing social responsibility and identity formation curriculum.

Rather, it is more common that programs take the approach that students willfind support if it exists. We aim to illuminate the experiences of students who navigate additionalobstacles in engineering, who we refer to as marginalized students. We are also interested indeveloping ways to more responsively support their navigation of engineering.

Unfortunately, none of these metrics have been preciselyaligned to career preparedness in the way that this paper intends to describe. As such, there iscurrently sparse research on global preparedness of business and engineering students.

This follows thepyramid model of only teaching advanced concepts once the basics are understood, and notattempting to teach high level biomedical engineering concepts first.Traditional undergraduate engineering education, especially in Civil and MechanicalEngineering, allows a graduate to shift among different areas of expertise over their career due tothe similarity of fundamental principles.
