~1200community attendees.IntroductionThrough the service learning structure, both students and community partners help to fulfill eachother’s needs. A robotics service learning [1] course at Fairfield University teaches theprinciples of robotics through hands-on activities and requires each student to participate in amentoring relationship with a local high school robotics team. These types of programs havebeen implemented at other universities [2-5]. Through these relationships, students gain a deeperunderstanding of the principles of robotics from the classroom, through teaching those principlesto others and helping their mentored team solve problems. Students gain an appreciation for, andcapability to, inspire younger generations to engage in STEM

At its best, service learningallows an opportunity to bridge technical education in the classroom to practice. Additionally, itencourages student development of communication skills, leadership, critical thinking, activelearning, and cultural understanding [1]. These skills learned through service learning benefitstudents upon graduating, as they will be expected to interact with people from diversebackgrounds in order to solve complex problems. For engineering students, these goals andneeds are no different, as engineers work on multidisciplinary projects that

Specifically, this project proposesthe STEM Engagement through Mentoring (SEM) model as a way to address the followingquestions:1) In what ways do fathers/mentors motivate students to become aware of, interested in, and prepared for STEM careers?2) To what extent does involvement in SEM shape the students’ STEM identity?3) What impact does working with the SEM program have on the self-efficacy of pre-service

IntroductionThe National Research Council reports that the U.S. “will need a steady supply of well-trainedengineers, scientists, and other technical workers...to succeed and prosper in the twenty-firstcentury.”1 Because our society is becoming increasingly dependent on engineering andtechnological advances, it is also recognized that all citizens need to have a basic understandingof engineering processes and uses to make informed choices and understand our world. Toaddress these needs, there has been a growing nationwide interest to include engineering in bothformal and informal pre-college education.

Currentliterature supports that teachers’ beliefs are firmly held and hard to change (e.g., [5], [6]).
