Promising Future Trends in ECE Computer occupations are behind strong STEM employment growth in the 2019-29 decade Demand for computer engineers is expected to surge over the next 10 years due to continued growth in the digital economy As technology advances across sensors, connectivity, processing power, and AI, new opportunities will emerge in aerospace and defense industry *Bureau of Labor Statistics, Beyond the Numbers Jan. 2021 **"What's Next for Aerospace and Defense: A Vision for 2050"
Background for Recruitment & Outreach Discussion
Recruiting & Outreach Priorities Increase undergraduate and graduate enrollments with emphasis on underrepresented groups Increase participation in new online dual enrollment courses Expand relationships with high schools and community colleges Inform target audiences about our department and discipline; increase understanding about who we are, what sets us apart from our competitors, and why we matter Leverage ECE and College outreach teams in recruiting Expand promotion of new ECE concentrations
Challenges ECE enrollments declining or leveling off Confusion about the discipline – students have only a general understanding of what ECE entails; need to develop more concrete examples from industry to show societal impact and career opportunities Representation of our majors at the University and College levels Mechanical engineering seems easier for students to understand from the start; comparatively, EE is almost exclusively referred to as dealing with circuits, systems, power grids, and wires
Possible Ideas for IAB Engagement Adopt/sponsor a high school STEM program in partnership with our department Provide us with more information about potential internship and career openings within your companies, and how we can best communicate those opportunities to future and current students Share information about successful recruiting efforts you’re involved with or have been exposed to, e.g., after school programs, events, tours, shadow days, marketing campaigns, etc.
Prep for Project Reviews
Instructions for Judging 1. Evaluate the six finalists. (Upon return, you will be asked to vote for the top three teams.) 2. Evaluate professionalism skills for selected projects using the forms provided. 3. Visit any other additional teams you can within the available time.
Depart for LSC Ballroom Return by 1:00 p.m.

Choosing Top 3 Projects Facilitator: Edwin Chong and Jeremiah Corrado
Sharing General Feedback How are we doing overall? Are students equipped with the skills they need to seamlessly transition into the workplace? What are the strengths, weaknesses of the teams you observed? Which projects stand out, and what makes them great? How can we improve?
Breakout Session: Partnering with Industry to Bolster Recruitment and Outreach Facilitators: Steve Pacheco & Lynda Allen
Questions for Breakout Discussions 1. As employers, what are your biggest pain points in recruiting and hiring engineering talent? 2. How can we collaborate to improve student recruitment, increase diversity, and fill the pathway with career-ready engineers? 3. How can industry play a role in helping us achieve our recruiting priorities outlined earlier today?
Discuss Results of Breakout Session Facilitators: Steve Pacheco & Lynda Allen
Closing Remarks Join us from 4 to 6 p.m. for a casual social at Stodgy Brewing Company 1802 Laporte Ave. Edwin Chong
