recent graduates’experiences as well as those of other difficult-to-access, perhaps underexplored, populations ofengineers. Introduction and BackgroundSchool-to-work transitionsResearch on engineering practice has emerged as a major focus within the engineering educationcommunity (Korte, Brunhaver, & Sheppard, 2015; Lutz, 2017; Stevens, Johri, & O’Connor, 2014).And while engineering degree programs are designed to prepare graduates for the realities ofmodern practice, research suggests that a significant gap remains between what engineers aretaught in school and what they do at work (Korte, 2011).An important aspect of engineering practice, then, involves the school-to-work transition for

an hour. All of the doctoral students in cohort one were invited to participate andthey all agreed to be interviewed and audio recorded.The following questions guided the focus group interview: 1. Can you tell me about the impact the program had your preparation and interest for an academic career, with respect to your role as an engineering educator? 2. To what extent are you using the information learned about teaching engineering in your current practice? 3. How prepared do you feel in the teaching aspects of an academic career? 4. To what extent did this program support your job search efforts in relation to teaching engineering? 5. How would you describe a good engineering educator? 6. What were the best

Actual engineering graduate school enrollment is the most valid measure of graduateschool attendance because graduate school plans might be different from the actual post-graduateoutcomes. Still, understanding the factors that influence college students’ career or graduateschool plans upon graduation is an important focus for research because such plans are typicallyamong the best predictors of actual choice of professions or graduate school enrollment 7 8 9 10.Given one finding from a qualitative study that engineering students
