, national organizations have called for broadening of graduate education beyondthe technical to include career development and professional skills training [4-6]. The impetus isthat traditional graduate degrees prepare students to become professors and researchers ateducational institutions while career outcome studies show that those with engineering graduatedegrees find employment in a wide range of industries such as healthcare, banking, aerospace,consulting and manufacturing [5, 7, 8]. In Canada only 14% of engineers with PhDs (includingarchitecture and related technologies) are employed as professors [4].There is a need to provide leadership-learning opportunities to engineering students as leadershipcompetencies can boost their success in

Although Environmental Engineering has some energy applications, I feel that a more mechanical background would be better suited for that field. [The guest speaker] talk also cemented in my mind that if I wanted to go more into [energy], Environmental Engineering is not the most direct. Instead, going more into chemistry for biofuels, electrical for PV, or mechanical for working on engine processes would be a better approach.” “While I still value the environment as highly as ever, I feel that I would be more suited to protect it as an

Engineering Teachers’ Literacy InstructionPeople enter and exit science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pathwaysat different points in their educational trajectories (Cannady, Greenwald, & Harris, 2014;Maltese, Melki, & Wiebke, 2014), but middle school is an especially critical juncture forcapturing and maintaining youths’ interest in STEM fields. From fifth to eighth grade,adolescents’ interest in STEM often declines (Gonzales et al., 2008; Osborne, Simon, &Collins, 2003), and many develop a negative sense of self-efficacy regarding their potentialto succeed in future STEM courses (Chen & Usher, 2013). Though many people exit STEMpathways before they enter high school, this problem is especially pronounced
