The impact of suchprograms extends beyond skill development, as they also play a crucial role in fostering self-efficacyand sense of belonging in the aerospace engineering community. This is particularly important giventhat URM students often face additional challenges, including imposter syndrome and a lack ofrepresentation among faculty and industry professionals [1]. Furthermore, the intersectionality ofmarginalization based on ethnicity and social class compounds the challenges faced by URMstudents, making it essential to consider multiple dimensions

Engineering for US All (e4usa) aims to fill this gap through a coursethat demystifies engineering while catering to a broad range of students. This paper examines theinfluence of the e4usa course on students’ engagement with engineering design, and theirunderstanding of engineering as a potential future educational and career pathway. Focus groupsessions were conducted with students from 12 participating schools during the 2020-21 schoolyear to examine how their interests and understanding of engineering were influenced by thecourse.

However, the interest here is on oneparticular transition. After 30 years as an engineer and engineering manager many skills wereacquired and developed. But were any of them transferable to another career, especially to one ineducation as an engineering professor.The transition from industry to education would take time and effort while presenting many trialsand tribulations. The first year was full of new
