Target areas whichrequire attention include those which directly or indirectly affect the students: to keep thosecurrently enrolled interested in staying within the department, to convince undeclared majors toselect a degree and a career from Engineering Technology programs, to actively recruit highschool students and older nontraditional students currently working, and to improve the attitudeand professional development of faculty and staff, as well as curriculums. A timeline should beutilized to structure the execution of these ideas. Innovative methods for recruiting are discussed. Implementation plans need to bedeveloped which are directed to these target areas. When any of the goals are achieved via theretention and

The aim was to gather information about the students in the program, whonormally work full-time in the engineering industry and study part-time by distanceeducation, their career aspirations, and the reasons why they chose to study the program. Ananalysis5 of the 247 responses found that 63% of the students had a career goal to become aprofessional engineer and were using the Associate Degree as a stepping stone to theBachelor of Engineering program. Surprisingly, less than 14% of the respondents intended topursue

andindustry. For example, while women earn 58% of undergraduate degrees across all disciplines,they account for only 24% of undergraduate students in engineering [1], [2]. Research suggeststhat this is partly due to women voluntarily choosing not to pursue an engineering educationbecause their main motivators (e.g., personal fulfillment, societal benefit) do not match theirperception of engineering careers [3], [4]. Consistent with these assertions, women earn an equalproportion of undergraduate degrees in certain engineering subfields that have an explicit goal ofimproving societal outcomes (e.g., biomedical engineering) [2]. Nevertheless, even inbiomedical engineering, there is a steep decline in female representation at the graduate studentand

People-oriented, broad, and systems-oriented are terms that were used todescribe the Discipline Profile.

several decades computational methods have increasingly played a central role inMaterials Science and Engineering (MSE) for characterizing structure, simulating processes andpredicting materials' response. To align with this shift, an MSE department at a researchuniversity in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region launched a curricular innovation to inculcate studentswith a basic facility with computational methods and to leverage computing proficiency toincrease student comprehension of core MSE concepts. In this study we investigate the impact ofthis curricular innovation on students’ (a) perceptions regarding the utility of integratingcomputation in their studies and their future careers; (b) perceptions regarding their own abilitiesto implement
