development of engineering standards (e.g., Engineering for USAll) and the growing number of public, private, and charter schools with engineering subjectsspeaks to an increasing interest in integrating engineering in the K-12 curriculum. However,because such efforts are not yet widely implemented, monitoring K-12 efforts of broadeningparticipation at the national level is unlikely. The same can also be said for informal engineeringeducation (outreach programs, museums, toys, etc.), which is also a prominent form ofparticipation in engineering at the K-12 level.After compulsory education, those wishing to pursue engineering as a career then proceed tohigher education. Here, this can entail the completion of an associate's degree, bachelor’s degree

For example, it was found that students taking an indirect path to a four-yearinstitution are more likely to have their parents involved academically by monitoring schoolworkand influencing the student’s academic plans [13]. Additionally, students at two-year institutionswho subsequently transferred to a four-year institution had, on average, a higher socioeconomicstatus than those who did not transfer to a four-year institution [13]. Specifically related toparental influences, parental behaviors were found to be related to a student’s career decision-making self-efficacy, or how strongly the student believes that they can complete the necessarytasks to make career
