-test toassess the effect of the classroom intervention on students.For qualitative analysis, student reflection data, prompted with open-ended questions, will becollected to provide insight to improve the intervention strategies. Thematic coding will be usedto analyze the open-ended questions.ConclusionThe Engineering Education Pilot program described in this paper aims to produce data that willinform one another to understand how this intervention is able to provide supports for students’career pathways. In this paper, we outline the theoretical bases for this work, SCCT, and IBM.Together, these frameworks inform the types of interventions to be implemented with 8 th-gradestudents in low-income areas.
