The University of Southern California was awarded a $200,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Engineering Education and Centers under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant will fund research to examine engineering students' perceptions of their future professional selves and determine if a brief video intervention can affect students' expectations about work and their perspectives about their future selves. Over two years, the university will survey 150 students before and after they watch short videos of recent alumni discussing their career transitions, interviewing 30 students each year. The mixed-methods study aims to understand students' career expectations and advance efforts to promote professional readiness through positive examples of early career engineers. Outcomes include establishing a baseline for students' career expectations and investigating perspectives of students from historically underrepresented populations. The grant also supports the principal investigator's development in engineering education research.
