Structured interviews of covered the participants’ family background, their motivations forenrolling in their major, their expectations with respect to career (including startups), their attitudestoward risk, and reflection on the interview. In the course of the interviews, participants were askedto rate their risk tolerance and their interest in pursuing a startup. Analysis of the interviews suggeststhat the principal indicator of entrepreneurial intent was interest in a startup, that most students’perceptions of the desirability of startups are negative, and that

Lab Implementation (Work in Progress)IntroductionManufacturing is one of the largest economic drivers in the United States, but withoutintervention, its successes might be short-lived. This warning is not original, nor is it new.Organizations like Deloitte [1] have been keeping a close eye on the state of themanufacturing industry in the United States for years and have predicted that the country maybe in trouble. As increasing retirement numbers from the baby-boomer generation looms overthe horizon, a lack of interest and awareness for manufacturing careers from the nextgeneration is creating a vacuum of talent for tomorrow’s jobs [2]. Even if the trend ofpushing back the retirement age continues, there may still not be enough new employees

This connection between a parent and their child has the potential topositively influence their career path. Specifically, mothers are shown to play an especially largerole in their child’s interest in a STEM career [2]. Due to this connection, parents’ perception ofSTEM could be a valuable tool in encouraging students to consider pursuing STEM, regardlessof the parent’s occupation. The demand for STEM workers is growing and understanding whatparents’ opinions of STEM are could provide a resource to fill those needed roles [3].In this study, we focus on how parents, who send their children to a STEM summer camp viewSTEM.

The STEM-CIS consisted of 44 questions that took the formof a 5-point Likert scale from ‘Strongly Agree’ to ‘Strongly Disagree’. The 44 questions weredivided up into four sets of 11 questions based on the four areas of STEM. An example questionwas “I am interested in careers that involve engineering”.Based on the work of Talton and Simpson [10], four more questions were in the pre-survey in theform of a 5-point Likert scale that looked into peer perceptions of science.
