Review the current curricula and explore new pedagogies and methods including hands-on, research-based, interdisciplinary, and virtual and remote learning. More internships, apprenticeships, and traineeships for undergraduate and graduate students are essential for students to get ready to start their STEM career after graduation. Prepare K-12

I know know 20+ other 'first timers' that I can bounce ideas and questions off of.” “My favorite thing about it is the supportive environment. Starting out in a professorial job can be very stressful and you can feel isolated sometimes. Program staff do an amazing job in making things feel ok.”Continued contact over time with a community-building emphasis is as an effective strategy

IntroductionIntellectual Property is important to future engineers because they will not only be the Creators,Designers, and Developers of Intellectual Property, but also the Managers and Users ofIntellectual Property. Not only will they need to conceptualize what intellectual property is, butthey will need to become familiar with their rights in regard to intellectual property. In fact, intheir future careers, engineers may be confronted with contracts that have intellectual propertyspecific agreements. For example, a company may want to retain intellectual property rights

Whether this measure indicatesgreater eventual success on the part of the students who leave engineering earlier is one of thepotential outcomes that will be examined in future work.Table 5 gives performance indicators for students who have not yet reached the six year mark.There are no comparison statistics calculated for this group yet, but, if the differences observedturn out to be statistically significant, there may be early indication that changes in theprogramming have had different effects.

trainingSome educators may argue that the existing computer science ethics education does not impactstudent views on algorithm bias and their professional knowledge. Indeed, taking one or possiblytwo engineering ethics courses as part of a degree program may not have a lasting impact onstudents embarking on professional careers. However, alternatives to semester-long ethicscourses may be more effective and impactful. In a systematic literature review on engineeringethics education, Hess​13​ (2018) suggests integrating micro-insertions of ethical decision-makingacross the curriculum.

at this university, there are two required courses for all MS students, and thenthe remaining eight courses are selected by the student’s graduate committee chair along with thestudent. This structure allows for highly customizable plans of study for students, and allows themto develop discipline specific knowledge that support their future career goals. The difficulty isthat the levels of proficiency that may be determined through course-level data is ratherproblematic to assess. For instance, a course may consist of 20 students, each of whom is in his orher first semester, second, third or final semester. While it is possible to track individual studentsseparately, that approach may require some effort on the part of faculty and may
