research also describes some of the experiences that women in engineering uniquely face.Generally speaking, engineering education and engineering practice both can serve as a “chillyclimate” for women, enforcing a sense of non-belonging and hindering women’s acclimation(and/or desire to acclimate) to engineering communities [11], [12]. Cech’s research shows howengineering students’ reasons for identifying with the field are gendered: women are more likelyto value the social consciousness of identifying with engineering, and men are more likely tovalue technological leadership [3]. Ayre, Mills, and Gill find that persistence in the chilly climateof engineering depends on women having a strong sense of belonging to engineering; thus, itdepends also

Case Study of Elementary Students’ Conceptions of Engineering Across STEM and Non- STEM SchoolsIntroductionWith the inclusion of engineering practices in A Framework for K-12 Science Education [1] andengineering standards in the Next Generation Science Standards [2], engineering instruction isgrowing increasingly common in elementary classrooms in the U.S. One approach to increasingengineering instruction is through schools with an explicit focus on science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and national policy documents in the U.S. have calledfor the development of such schools [3]. However, a clear vision for what K-12 engineeringeducation should include and how it should be implemented is
