., and Laanan, F.S.AbstractProject based learning (PBL) has increasingly been promoted as a way to increase studentinterest in the STEM related fields. One such curriculum, Project Lead The Way (PLTW), hasgained increasing popularity in middle schools and high schools. A key objective of the PLTWengineering curriculum is to create a more seamless transition for students from secondaryschool into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics post-secondary programs. PLTWhas been implemented in all fifty states; however, there has been sparse research to-date that hasrigorously measured the impact of PLTW or other PBL curricula on the student’s choice topersist into postsecondary education We used Iowa’s statewide longitudinal data system

For example, geotechnical engineering, which employsmathematics, solid mechanics, and fluid mechanics, can be adapted in the elementary schoolcurriculum with some imagination and effort. In fact, some soil mechanics lessons are alreadyintroduced to elementary school students in several educational systems. Specifically,permeability
