campus, we have createda career-forward laboratory curriculum. This curriculum involves student teams completingDesign Challenges, which translate chemistry concepts such as specific heat capacity, solubility,and reaction kinetics into situated problems that are unique to the practice of professionalengineers. In addition to contextualizing science and engineering as real world applications, ourapproach forecasts the professional practice of various types of engineering careers. Thisapproach allows first- and second-year students to experience the work of a professionalengineer in a developmentally appropriate form as a means of learning the domain of chemistry.Special consideration has also been given to designing for populations sensitive to

To this end, we investigate how minorityundergraduate engineering students conceptualize engineering career pathways based on anorganization’s website content. We, a team of minority undergraduate engineering students, led a qualitative analysis ofthe websites of two national labs: Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Kansas CityNational Security Campus (KCNSC). The website content was analyzed by extracting excerptsthat matched keywords related to engineering careers. Each excerpt was annotated with ourimpression of the company as a potential employer. In collaboration with other researchers, acodebook was developed based on contemporary career frameworks and was used to
