AB  -  The adoption of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in many states has increased the interest in integrating engineering curriculum into K-12 science education. The focus of this paper is to examine the evolution of 26 fifth grade students knowledge of engineers after experiencing one Engineering is Elementary (EiE) unit. The students completed the DAET as a pre- and post-survey for their first engineering project. This work covers two sections: (a) To what extent are fifth grade minority students’ perceptions of engineering changed after a unit of EiE curriculum? (b) How does gender influence fifth grade students’ perceptions of engineering? Based on the analysis of our preliminary data, there was an increase in students’ connection to engineers and creating. Data also revealed that more female students drew female engineers than male students.  However, the majority of engineers in the DAET were still drawn with male characteristics by female and male students. Female students showed the greatest growth in defining what engineers do, but male students began the intervention with a much more developed understanding of engineering. All students increased interest in STEM careers in the post test. The results of this study may be used as a baseline to address the needs of minority students in elementary engineering curriculum. Results of this work in progress are consistent with previous research. Additionally, results also showed that students held naïve conceptions about engineering, but by the posttest, they were more informed about engineering.
