Male Maker Program Evaluation Design An evaluation framework was developed by the Evaluation Team from SRI International thatincludes a description of project activities, inputs, output and outcomes, data to be collected andmethods of analyses (see Table 2). The evaluation was designed to address the followingresearch question; To what extent does participation in the MMM Program increase students’interest in STEM content, STEM careers, and college attendance? Student surveys werecollected at each program site. One survey used to measure career interest and interest in STEMsubjects was the Student Attitudes toward STEM (S-STEM) Survey, which invites students ingrades 6-12 to give information about their attitudes toward science, technology

Minorities in Engineering

(ENGR101), was specifically designed and offered during the fall quarter of the 2015-16 school year asa part of a NSF S-STEM grant, Program for Engineering Excellence for Partner Schools(PEEPS). PEEPS is a cohort scholarship program that provides engineering students withfinancial, academic, and social support3. ENGR 101 was developed by two engineering faculty, aVISTA member, and supported by a curriculum expert, to expand the benefits of PEEPS to alarger number of students and to establish interventions and practices in engineering classroomsthat better support diversity on our university’s campus. The specific course goals were todevelop and enhance students’ engineering identity and sense of belonging within the College ofEngineering in order
