All six express confidence that theirhigh school preparation in mathematics and science exceeded that of U.S. high school studentsand their enrollment in transitional institutions is not a result of poor mathematics or scienceskills. Interviewer: Well tell me a little bit about your high school preparation and how do you

She also works as a Research Assistant at the University of Washington (UW) Center for Workforce Development (CWD), where she conducts qualitative research and analysis on the Project to Assess Climate in Engineering (PACE) project. Her research interests include P-20 school-community relations and community capacity building/development in low-income urban and first-ring suburban en- vironments, supporting low-income students in accessing quality educational opportunities and experi- ences, and providing pathways and supports for low-income students and other underrepresented groups to pursue STEM-related careers. Her dissertation study is focused on the role that a community-based organization

The Secondary Schools and Queensland Universityof Technology Engineering Activity Kits (SQUEAK) program was implemented in Australia toattract students of secondary schools to engineering careers. Like Project Lead the Way, theSQUEAK program designed hands-on projects to match to students’ coursework7. The VirginiaMiddle Schools Engineering Education Initiative (VMSEEI) created engineering testing kits(ETKs) to facilitate engineering instruction within science and mathematics courses and has built Page

aroundpair programming for women. Unlike the study above [44], they did not pair students updepending on gender [45]. Instead, they sought to understand the differences in perceptions ofpair programming between female and male students in an introductory programming coursethrough thematic analysis of survey questions. A majority of men and women had positivesentiments around pair programming. The positive themes included improved learningexperience, gaining career skills, and networking, many of the very same benefits suggested bysocial constructivist learning theory. Women reported that they experienced social benefits, suchas improved confidence, more often than men. Men reported experienced benefits to the overallprocess of completing lab
