Does engagement in high impact practices such as technical internships and undergraduate research influence engineering students' career decisions and future plans? And how is learning that comes from these high impact practices related to "school learning"? These high impact educational practices have been shown to increase the rates of student engagement and retention in higher education. While access to and participation in these activities is often unsystematic across various institutions, these practices have been shown to benefit college students with diverse backgrounds and learner qualities. This paper establishes a context for understanding the characteristics and attitudes of students who participate in internships and undergraduate research by drawing from analyses of the first administration of the Engineering Majors Survey (EMS), a longitudinal study designed to examine engineering students' career objectives related to creativity and innovation, and the experiences and attitudes that might influence those goals. In addition, using interview data from product development interns at a single engineering firm, we add insights into the specific skills that interns identify as learning in their internship and suggest connections between school-and-work learning. The more general picture of the impact of internship and research experiences (from the EMS), complemented with a "deep dive" into the learning that happens in internship experiences (from the interviews) provides a solid starting point for future exploration of how high impact practices such as internships and research experiences might be better integrated into a student's educational development.

“…For engineering students, internships serve as the gateway to future employment. Both internships and co-op work experiences provide engineering students with opportunities to expand their coursework knowledge by applying that knowledge within professional environments [1,2]. In doing so, students who participate in these kinds of experiences are more likely to look toward engineering related employment post-graduation during their career decisions [3].…”

Reuben F. Burch V received his Ph.D. in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Mississippi State University in 2014. He has also received a Master of Engineering Management in Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering from Kansas State University and a Bachelors of Science in Computer Engineering from Mississippi State University. Dr. Burch's work history largely consists of research and development in the virtual reality space where he consulted for NASA, Naval departments from multiple countries, and the Department of Defense and Energy. Recently, his Research and Development (R&D)expertise has expanded to include logistics and industry. He currently serves as a faculty consultant and logistics and technology advisor for numerous universities and multiple Fortune 100 companies around the world. He is also an elected official for a small municipality in western Tennessee where he works with local entrepreneurs to build a better ecosystems for creativity with the goal of growing a stronger community and workforce. Dr. Burch's primary research interests center around human factors, ergonomics, and future generations of technologies. He is particularly interested in the design of and human interaction with rugged mobile tools, robotics, and contextual awareness within the industrial workplace. Other work includes studying the current demographic shift in the global workforce and what new expectations from a self-actualized generation of workers mean for the future of all industrial technology. Dr. Burch has a number of publications regarding ruggedized handheld devices in the industrial work environment and has filed a number of potential new intellectual properties and inventions as part of his research.
