. These latter students, therefore, would benefitfrom engineering instruction that values their out-of-school practices and uses them as a bridgeto the formal practices of engineering so that students do not feel like engineering is a “foreign”discipline that is “not me.” 21Theoretical Perspectives of Funds of KnowledgeIn previous educational literature, the construct of “funds of knowledge” has served as a bridgethat connects students’ household and peer bodies of knowledge with the formal bodies ofknowledge learned in school. Authors have used the term “funds of knowledge” to describe thecultural knowledge and skills present in students’ households and communities, which includeknowledge related to agriculture, health, workplace skills, ethics

Therefore, high school students‟attitudes to engineering may be an important predictor of not only being adequately preparedto engineering but its pursuit. If more high school students acquire positive attitudes towardsengineering, more of them will be motivated to choose engineering as a career.An attitude is a

good work ethic can achieve success in a STEM-related field. To helpalleviate these preconceived, negative stigmas about engineering, the STEM teachers plan tospend more time informally educating their school staff about the field of engineering, that it isfor any student who is willing to work hard and dedicate themselves to it; it is not just for “reallysmart” people who are good at math.Limitations of Study/Further QuestionsThe findings of these analyses should be placed within the limitations of this study. The cohortof participants is drawn from students attending Skyline High School in Longmont, CO. Studentsself-select into the program at this high school by applying to the STEM Academy during their8th grade year. While 8th grade
