Funded by the National Science Foundation as a collaborative research grant (NSF-EEC-1360665, 1360956, and 1360958) We thank the other members of our PEPS research team including co-PI Dr. Ruth Streveler who led our community of practice effort and was unavailable for this panel and the graduate students supporting data collection and analysis. In addition, we thank our university liaison partners who helped review data collection instruments and dissemination of surveys. Thanks to the University Influencers who graciously volunteered to be interviewed. Finally, we thank the students who volunteered time during their junior and senior years to participate via an interview and/or surveys.

N2 - This panel session will provide findings from the Professional Engineering Pathways Study (PEPS) followed by an interactive discussion between the panel members and attendees. The interactive forum is intended for stakeholders interested in understanding undergraduate engineering students career choice pathways. The process of engineering graduates pursuing their first position after graduation has become an increasingly complex process. Understanding the ever-increasing number of career options, discerning the specific engineering skills employees desire for a position, and the variety of methods resulting in successfully receiving a job offer may be daunting for students. PEPS, a multi institutional longitudinal mixed methods study, studied factors such as career options, the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for those options, and student career expectations, values, and goals from both university influencer and student perspectives. The panel will highlight salient results anticipated to be of interest to academic advisors, career counselors, faculty, and students pursing their first position after graduation and act as a catalyst to an interactive discussion with attendees.
