In order to providemore opportunities and ultimately motivate young learners to choose careers in engineering,educators and policymakers have focused on expanding a variety of programs, such as K-12outreach programs and teacher training, to help young learners‟ as well as the general public‟sunderstanding of what engineering is.

As explained in the VEX Robotics Competition Gatewaymanual7, The world needs the students of today to become the scientists, engineers, and problem solving leaders of tomorrow. The constant breakthroughs in chemistry, medicine, materials and physics reveal a new set of challenges and create an even greater opportunity for problem solving through technology. These problems are not academic; the solutions could help save the world and those technology problem solvers will be the ones to make it possible. This underscores the dramatic challenge we face: there are not enough high school graduates choosing technology related disciplines

transportation industry is missing out on atalented pool. Perhaps part of the reason that this percentage is so low is that women are notaware of how transportation impacts society lives. Prevalent research supports this as in a surveyof the general public, many do not view STEM careers as those that directly benefit society2, 3.Additionally, many studies show that women are attracted to careers that can improve society,including the quality of people’s lives 2, 4. Transportation impacts the quality of everyone’s lifeand since many transportation careers require science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM), grouping STEM and transportation education together makes sense.

, 14-16. However, Katehi et al.1, in their summaryof the current state of K-12 engineering education, note that these natural connections betweenthe subjects are not always emphasized. Though engineering in practice requires application ofmathematics and science, current engineering education is limited in scope. Science is treatedonly as a tool and math is used mainly for data analysis1.One of the benefits of introducing engineering (in particular engineering design) into themathematics and science curricula is an increased interest in STEM subjects and careers inSTEM fields. Several studies found an increase in students’ interest in these areas afterimplementing engineering design into K-12 science and mathematics classes7-10, 17. There

parallel programming or object-oriented design. It is also well known that engineering students are more likely to pursue andcomplete CS degrees if they perform well in their freshman programming courses. Consequently,the importance of stimulating long-term CS interest at the K-12 level cannot be understated.K-12 CS programs that dwell on the high-level benefits of a CS career can sometimesoverwhelm new students. Typically, these programs will introduce students to recent researchprojects or high-end products in the market. While these methods inspire interest in CS, they canalso be discouraging when students realize their introductory work (e.g. basic programming) isso far away from the advanced projects that were introduced.Alternatively
