Studies continue to highlightcommon misconceptions about engineering work including gender stereotypes about engineeringand erroneous concepts about the nature of the engineering profession [1][2][3]. Unfortunately,these misconceptions are driving the U.S. towards a large talent gap such that the number ofengineering jobs that need to be filled in the future will outpace the number of engineeringdegrees awarded [4].For those students who eventually decide to pursue engineering, studies have indicated that whenhigh school students, especially first-generation students, choose engineering, their reasons rangefrom having a curiosity and interest in the subject

Al-though educational institutions strive to equip students with the necessary knowledge for success-ful careers, many graduates struggle to land jobs that match their qualifications, even with the highdemand for tech talent.

By analyzing the results of these matches, we create a global metric that we then compare to our previous metrics and find that this new metric has similar behavior. This is positive since this metric provides a means for more interesting feedback to students.1 IntroductionIn this paper, we evaluate a new mind map analysis metric that compares an experts mind map(called the criterion map) to a students map to evaluate how similar the two maps are.

advances in science,specifically in communication and information technologies, are resulting in a renewed interestin hands-on (physical and virtual) learning. While laboratories in engineering education provideopportunities for hands-on learning, researchers have found that student learning in labs has notachieved the expected benefits [1, 2]. There are numerous shortcomings in traditional labs thatinclude, for example, short time constraints and high student expectations [3]. When we treat ourstudents as novices receiving existing knowledge (in a lecture and in a highly structured lab),they do not have the opportunity to construct knowledge.
