This comprehensive analysis of critical choice points in students\u2019 biosciences and engineering pathways contributes to developing a model and assessment of key high impact events in STEM workforce development. We focus on the role of the research experience in developing scientists and engineers at the baccalaureate and masters levels to better understand S&amp;E workforce investments and program effectiveness.
