and learning of engineering.IntroductionAmong racial/ethnic minorities in the U.S., Latinx are particularly underrepresented inengineering. While the Latinx population is the fastest growing major racial/ethnic group in theU.S [1, 2] and Latinx workers make up 15% of the general workforce, they compromise only 7%of the STEM workforce [3]. Although different scholars have offered several reasons behindwhy Latinx students do not pursue STEM careers–particularly engineering–many scholars haveargued that one particularly powerful reason is that the cultures of students do not fit the“cultures of engineering” [4]. For instance, the National Academy of Engineering and NationalResearch Council argued that engineering “curricular materials do not

At the same time the programs provide them with the full college and careerreadiness experience. The main goals of this program are to: (1) introduce students to a widevariety of STEAM fields, (2) increase student’s engineering mathematics and scienceknowledge, and (3) facilitate students to learn about different STEAM fields they might beinterested in pursuing.To assess the impact of the program, the participants took a pre and post content knowledge testthat included basic

students identifyingundergraduate engineering students as role models.IntroductionUniversity-based outreach initiatives are a major driver in K-12 engineering education. In theUnited States, an estimated 600,000 K-12 students participate in university-led engineeringoutreach annually [1]. Reaching students as young as elementary school is important as studentsform their interests and impressions in engineering and other STEM disciplines early [2], [3],[4], [5] and those interests often decline in middle school [5], [6], [7], [8]. It is widely believedthat university outreach programs can increase and broaden participation in engineering studyand careers by introducing youth to undergraduate students as engineering role models.
