The first will highlight each community outreach program theschool offers. The second will summarize a survey of the school’s current students. The surveywill cover students’ exposure to the school’s programs and any subsequent impact on their careerchoices. It will also poll the students on any P-12 exposure to architecture or architecturalengineering they may have experienced.Introduction:Studies have shown that children consider careers much earlier than thought. By age 7, childrenhave realistic career aspirations (Moulton, et al, 2014). During developmental stages, childrenwill shape these aspirations based on

Intheory this gave students the ability to follow their interests. It also made it fairly easy forassociate degree students in both computer systems technology and web development technologyto seamlessly continue on to the bachelor degree option.By many standards the computer degree options were successful. Students were meeting most ofthe assessment goals for the program’s student learning objectives. Employers were hiring thegraduates and providing good feedback on how well the students were prepared.

These objectives are accomplished by having thestudents work in teams to design a playground at a local public elementary school. Through thisprocess, college students must learn about play from the true experts at play: the children; theymust also facilitate the children’s vision and ideas on how to best transform their playground(Lima, 2013).Service-learning was deliberately chosen by the instructor because she wanted the students’ firstdesign experience to be an engaged one; engineers are supposed to hold the safety of the publicparamount, but engineering students

, 2017 Engineering Technology Students – How do they compare to other STEM students?For many years, students interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) majors were easily identified. However, since the realization that the US has a lownumber of students enrolled in STEM programs, great effort has been expended to encourageyouth to pursue careers in these areas. Because of these broad-based efforts, the demographicsof students moving into STEM are different from those in the past. There is a noted lack ofdiversity in students majoring in engineering technology; this is not as prevalent in other STEMfields.Engineering technology students belong to a unique group. They are

are aprimary factor inhibiting gender parity (De Cohen 2009). In other words, the problem beginslong before women students enter university.Numerous theories help explain women’s decision not to enroll in engineering. Supply sidetheories assume a mismatch between women’s perceptions of the field and their ability toachieve their life goals (Ceci, Williams, and Barnett 2009). In particular, women may come tothe conclusion that a highly demanding engineering career would be too constraining on theirability to birth and raise children—a perception that may be exacerbated in national contextswhere public childcare systems have not been developed. Other theories suggest that there is areduced demand for women based on institutionalized attitudes
