Half of the students indicated thatthe experience changed how they envisioned themselves as scientists. Seventy-five percent indicatedplans to seek employment in industry prior to the summer experience, while only twenty-five percentremained with those plans after the summer experience.

Over the past several decades, as research institutions have gained better understanding ofearthquake, the field of civil engineering has grown to encompass earthquake engineering. Thisspecialized subfield concentrates on limiting the seismic risk to the man-made environment inresponse to an array of disasters. To encourage students to pursue the career in this field,internship opportunities are often offered to the next generation of engineers, introducing them tofundamentals of earthquake engineering that they will work on in the professional setting.Community colleges such as Cañada College serve as the gateway

Therefore, it isimportant to explore how students perceive the engineering discipline, specifically, first-yearengineering students who are just beginning to understand what being an engineer means andwhat role they can play in the engineering field.Introductory engineering courses offer a good place to explore students’ perceptions of theengineering discipline. These courses are usually the classes wherein students are first exposed tomore specific engineering activities during the first year in an engineering program.

Especially as experiential learning becomes increasingly prevalent in curriculum designand further emphasized as an important educational tool, engineering technology is beginning togain traction as both a career path and a field of study, particularly among those seeking to spendless time in the classroom. For instance, in 2014, there were over 34,000 students who graduatedwith 2-year engineering technology degrees, versus 4,409 students who graduated with 2-yearengineering degrees, even though the number of graduates with 4-year engineering degreesremained substantially higher than those with 4-year engineering technology degrees [1].As this growth continues, it is increasingly evident that more research needs to be done

We should teach people to be authentic, to be aware of their inner selves and to hear their inner-feeling voices. 2. We should teach people to transcend their cultural conditioning and become world citizens. 3. We should help people discover their vocation in life, their calling, fate or destiny.
