For many, theopportunity to transition into a job coded as an environmental engineer comes later in theirmilitary career. For example, at West Point only 1 or 2 cadets per year matriculate into theMedical Service Corps with the intent of becoming an Environmental Science & EngineeringOfficer. The more common pathway for West Point cadets is to enter the Engineer Branch andwork towards serving in a position that does environmental engineering work. It is also commonfor environmental engineering majors to serve in positions that leverage their leadership skillsand an engineering mindset, such as the Infantry, Armor, or Aviation

With the growingneed for professionals with technology and critical thinking skills related to data analysis, theMDaS program employs established recruitment and retention activities for undergraduates inSTEM fields, to encourage consideration of careers in data science related fields. The purpose ofthe program is to provide financial and professional support to low-income and underrepresentedSTEM students to improve their chances of completing degrees related to data science.

Teachers have a paramount influence on students’ future career choices.An effective way to increase students’ interest in STEM fields is to improve teachers’conceptions and self-efficacy of engineering and STEM concepts [4]. Specifically, ateacher’s understanding of engineering plays a critical role in increasing a student’sinterest in STEM areas [2, 5, 6].Previous research demonstrated that teachers who participated in engineering andtechnology focused PD programs showed improvement in their knowledge andunderstanding of engineers, engineering disciplines, and their relations with the

Based on this data, the course was structured with relevant software systemsand course assignments to focus on management rather than design.
