Incorporating ARTsinto STEM, the STEAM ACTIVATED! program was implemented to increase the ‘SustainableConstruction Engineering’ knowledge, interests, and self-efficacy of 31 middle-school girls.Self-efficacy is having a ‘can-do’ attitude that increases coping behavior, identity formation, andpersistence. Following the Bandura model for improving self-efficacy, the 5-day programengaged girls in: (1) Mastery experiences through hands-on ‘Construction Engineering’ projects,dance, and field trip; (2) Vicarious experiences through teamwork, peer mentoring, competitions,and oral presentations; (3) Verbal persuasion through coaching, instruction, story

Education in the U.S. does not emphasizethe clean energy or environmentally friendly behavior, so many students do not see these jobs asa potential career path or even know they exist.Education plays a critical role in helping the United Nations reach its Sustainable DevelopmentGoals (SDGs) [2]. Environmental education begins with giving children access and opportunitiesto build a relationship with nature, learn about environmental issues and the need for cleanenergy, develop important skills for the clean energy workforce, and inform them of the jobs andcareer paths in clean energy

In the past decade, however, STEM graduate students increasingly have soughtpositions in the industry [1]; a recent study by Sherman et al. [2] found that non-academicindustry jobs were the most preferred career choice for STEM doctoral students. Despite thispreference, graduate education has yet to adapt to better prepare students for their industrypositions; a significant portion of students need critical professional skills, such as

IntroductionTraditionally, an instructor assesses student performances by giving home works, tests, andprojects, etc. This assessment method is subjective of the instructor. It is well known that duringcourse registration process, many students choose instructors for easy grades. Therefore, gradesdo not always reflect the true merits of students and the programs as well. The real merits of thestudents and programs can better be assessed by determining how really they perform in theirprofessional careers several years

But they also begin to understand the communication activities that will cause them tosucceed or falter in their careers. Not only must we study what it is that engineers do when they areout on co-op. We must reinforce those activities when they return to campus.

On the other hand, industry has the lowest interest in BMEstudents compared to other engineering majors at one institution (Nocera et al. 2018, Ortiz-Rosario et al. 2019).BME students reported three possible career outcomes with accepted industry positions (30%), furthereducation (54%), and looking for a job (16%) upon their graduation.
