Specifically, engineering students areexpected to build relevant skills through experiential learning opportunities [1]. However, formost high school students considering engineering in college, their preparation is typicallyadvanced placement courses in science and mathematics. Courses alone don’t meet theincreasing national demand to better prepare high school students for careers in technology andmanufacturing [2]. To bridge this gap, high school students may pursue the skills and qualitiesexpected of them in a university setting, which will enable

To better understandthe impacts of altruistic framing, a traditional Saturday STEM program with participants from thesame demographics were studied for comparison. Through interviews and surveys, we found thataltruistic framing led to meaningful changes in students’ appreciation of engineering and, in somecases, new interests in pursuing engineering as a career. Students also increased their interest inengineering, but their definitions of the field did not broaden appreciably. Some found newinterests, but they did not have the same type of

In the firsttwo years of the program, there were 97 qualifying graduates with nearly half going on to study aSTEM discipline in college and over a quarter choosing to major in engineering or computerscience at a 4-year university. Of the qualifying graduates, 55% were Latinx, 5% were Black,and 37% were Arab American.
