goal was to prepare future academics/scholars, and ithas thus focused on the creation and conservation of disciplinary knowledge [1], [2]. However,the reality today is that most engineering graduate students (GSs) go on to non-academic careers[3], [4]. As educators, it should be our aim to equip GSs for success, regardless of careeraspirations, and to be more thoughtful about what ‘success’ in a particular field means. Boyerstates that, …graduate study must be broadened, encompassing not only research, but integration, application, and teaching, too. It is this vision that will assure, we believe, a new generation of scholars, one that is more intellectually vibrant and more responsive to society's shifting needs [5, pp

Merriweather(2014) report that careers that are perceived to help humanity with high levels of communityengagement may be more attractive to African American, Latino/Latina, Native American andfemales [5]. Engineering Community Engaged Learning (CEL) is an excellent way to help thoseinvolved in these experiences to understand how engineering, as well as other STEM careers, canhave a high level of community engagement, can be used to help humanity, require creativityand are personally rewarding careers. CEL provides the participants with a way to engage withthe community through learning opportunities that address critical community-identifiedinterests and needs, and sustaining reciprocal partnerships.

Three themes were observed: ● A focus on real-world applications or the use of practical applications in class ● To influence the career decisions of those that partake in the program ● To improve teacher knowledge in STEM to thus improve its instruction to K12 students.Results and DiscussionAs shown in Figure 1, just under half (44%) of the papers targeted high school students.

,including programs and initiatives linked to developing the aforementioned social support groups.However, women continue to hold a disproportionately low share of STEM undergraduatedegrees, particularly in engineering and computing, despite growing efforts to encourage womento pursue careers in STEM. For example, women comprise 46% of the available workforce [3] yetthey make up less than 20% of bachelor’s degrees awarded in computer science and only 22%awarded in engineering [4]. These findings highlight the need to further examine the dynamicslinked to women in engineering and computer science. To understand the need to increaseenrollment of women in STEM programs, this study will examine qualitative data in the form ofinterviews collected from
