23.633.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Gender Differences in Motivation to Perform K12 OutreachAbstract To continue our leadership role in technological innovation, the United States is callingfor 10,000 more engineering students to graduate each year. While producing more engineers is acomplex systemic challenge, one of the major hurdles is the lack of students entering the pipelineto higher education in STEM fields. Outreach programs are one way to interest young people inengineering, but more engineers need to be motivated to perform outreach. Using the VIE(Valence, Instrumentality, Expectancy) motivation framework, we determine similarities anddifferences between women and men

challenge of meeting the nation’s demands for more engineers isexacerbated by the inability of formal learning environments to excite many underrepresentedstudents about the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professions. Theemphasis on math and science skills for engineers, and the nation’s precipitous fall in these areashas coalesced to produce a bleak outlook for the U.S. Many feel that the engineering field hasfailed to attract underrepresented populations due to a misguided perception of the field, lowinterest and low self-efficacy for underrepresented populations.2,3 In response, many co-curricular programs have introduced programs that offer exposure to the field of engineering andimplement authentic engineering

definition by Tim Brown, President andCEO of IDEO, provides a relevant framework. Brown describes design thinking as: “…a discipline that uses the designer’s sensibility and methods to match people’s needs with what is technologically feasible and what a viable business strategy can convert into customer value and market opportunity.” 12The pedagogical goal of design thinking is innovation. It is achieved by finding the intersectionof what is feasible (typically the domain of engineering), with what is viable or profitable(typically the domain of business schools) with what is desirable. Design innovation is theintersection of these activities13, as shown in Figure 1

are susceptible to stereotype threat that woulddiscourage them from participating in STEM or choosing STEM careers[5]. Girls are attentive tothe behaviors that women in their culture engage in and thus feel efficacious in and model thosebehaviors[6]. Girls’ attitudes regarding scientists and engineers have been influenced by the lackof female representation in the media, and with this absence of role models, many girls tend toview science and technology an unsuitable career choice and personally irrelevant to their lives.One way to alleviate these concerns is to expose students to role models, specifically females todispel stereotype threat for young women, in math and science [6-10], or in general – STEMProfessionals.
