Students that did not report parent’seducation level were eliminated from the study. First, we tested the internal consistency of thethree constructs in each of the subject-related identity measures (i.e., performance/competence,interest, and recognition). Analysis yielded Cronbach alpha values of α = 0.89 for physics interest,α = 0.89 for

measureable benefits. These benefits include increased confidence andinterest in science and engineering pursuits. Students also acquire a meaningful understanding ofthe engineering design process, and particularly its iterative nature. The communitycontextualization has been observed to provide further benefits by making the relevance ofSTEM a central feature of the student engagement. Further study is needed to determine if thisalso facilitates communication between students, families, and community members, positioningthese students as STEM ambassadors able to relate the value of engineering to their community.References1Kosovich,J.

inengineering.The RStudio integrated development environment was used to perform the statistical analysis [8]. All statistical tests were conductedwith an alpha=0.05. A standard t-test is used to compare means. For the odds ratio estimate, the Fisher’s Exact Test for Count Datafrom the R-“stats” package is used[8]. The cohen.d function from the EffSize package estimates the effect size for all t-tests[9]. Thisis a measure of the strength of the difference between means and we use d ≤ 0.2 for a small (S) effect, 0.2 < d ≤ 0.8 is considered amedium (M) effect, and d > 0.8 is a large effect [9]. The statistical power is also estimated using the “pwr” package in R using defaultvalues for all non-required parameters [10]. A comparison of means is
