Counseling and Educational Psychology New Mexico State University IntroductionIn the early 1980’s Congress requested that the National Science Foundation (NSF) provideeducational and professional development opportunities for people of color, women, and peoplewith disabilities pursuing a career in the sciences and engineering [1]. Although the number ofunderrepresented groups pursing degrees and careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) is increasing – the number of people from underrepresented communities,such as Hispanic or Latino, as well as women, remains unequal [2].Engineering is a STEM domain in which underrepresented groups continue to remain

Theory states that students are more motivated to pursue a career when theybelieve the profession affords the values that they personally endorse. Goal-Congruity furthercategorizes value into two forms, agency (wealth, prestige, power), and prosocial (working withand helping others, benefitting society). In our study, we focus on the often-overlookedprosocial value. This type of value system is important for two reasons. First, with theubiquitous nature of technology in the modern world, the consequence of engineering decisionscan have a devastating impact on society, often in the aggregate over time. Considering thesocietal impact within the engineering decision making process can benefit the sustainability andaccessibility of new technologies

The modules give an overview ofnuclear engineering to students to broaden their career options. Two new elective courses arebeing developed. An engineering elective is for engineering seniors on nuclear energy andnuclear engineering. It is intended to prepare students for the workforce and/or graduate studiesin the nuclear engineering field. The second elective is for all majors, and it will focus on energyfor America's future, covering nuclear energy among other alternatives

By that time, most of the top students had already participated incorporate internships or

Inaddition, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) jobs, especiallyengineering and technology, in the United States are expected to grow nearly twice as fast asother fields by 2024 [3]. An increasing number of jobs at all levels require knowledge ofmathematics and science. Hence, STEM education is crucial to the ultimate success of our youngpeople. Several reports have linked K-12 science and math education to continued economicgrowth in the United States. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of both interested and adequatelyprepared K-12 students, especially among minority youth and young women [1

Preliminary data from 60 high schools in 11 states with over 2200students indicates that this program is having an impact on students’ interest in and their views ofengineering. However, students’ academic and career choices are influenced by a number offactors.
