study cited interest or skill in building or putting things togetheras reasons they could not become an engineer, suggesting that some students see engineering asfor builders or makers, but not for them. Other students said they could not become engineersbecause they were not creative or didn’t know how to ideate. Several students said they couldbecome engineers but would not because they planned to pursue another career of interest. It ispossible that all of these students might find engineering more appealing if they saw their ownskills and interests reflected in engineering. For example, we note that six girls and one boyplanned to become veterinarians; perhaps these students would be drawn toward engineering ifthey were aware of ways to

Ambassadors apply with their sponsors, who are asked to fill out a separatedocument at the time of the Ambassador’s application. Sponsors are expected to serve as localsupport for Ambassadors in their outreach endeavors and are invited to attend SWE alongsidetheir Ambassador.

in Table 5 in the pre- andpost- surveys on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1=Extremely Not Confident to 5= Extremely Confident.The arithmetic mean of the responses for each cohort was calculated and the Mann-Whitney testwas run to determine statistical significance between pre- and post- survey data.The data analysis shows an overall increase in confidence for almost all the statementsthroughout the years, with a few statistically significant improvements. For the 2016 cohort,“Using tools in the lab”, “Collecting data” and “Analyzing data” significantly increased (p ≤0.05) from pre- to post- survey. This result reflects the focus of the program on providingstudents with the opportunity to perform daily laboratory research, contributing to an

experience with the design cycle by designing a helmet to protect the brain. Students iteratively design the helmet using practical arts and crafts materials and engage in testing to determine the performance of their design. Students also reflect on their designs to influence further iterations. On day 3, students use the engineering design cycle to iteratively design surgical tools. Students evaluate their tools by performing mock surgeries on gelatin models to remove embedded masses. Students evaluate their tool performance and use that to inform further design improvements. On day 4, students revise their tools to enhance performance and prepare for day 5 challenges. The day 5 competition includes

Results from the Repeated-Measures Analysis of Variance (RM-ANOVA) demonstrated that participants reported higherperceived ability to engage in scientific learning processes (d = .17) and in science learningbehaviors (d = 0.15). Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed.Objective Self-efficacy is the judgement an individual makes regarding their ability to performvarious tasks and this judgement is domain and task specific (Bandura, 1977, 1982). Since theway in which people act, think, and feel, is a direct reflection of their own beliefs in theircapabilities, learners’ beliefs promote both engagement and learning (Linnenbrink & Pintrich,2003), as well as long-term achievement (Parker

The purpose of this method is to allow students to play with applying physics knowledgein new relatable ways. The small groupsreport on their work by answeringdiscussion questions designed to guidetheir reflection on both the process and thelearning they acquired (Figure 2).

Having spent considerable time working together, weasked participants to reflect as a group on their engineering experiences. Researchers facilitatedthe focus groups and captured them on video. These conversations shed light on youths’perceptions of their engineering work, and their thoughts about engineering as a possible careerchoice.A survey of youths’ engineering interests and attitudes (EIA) was also completed

Students first receive an overview of the mission, then design a ship in thedrydock to meet the mission requirements and objectives. Students proceed to test their shipeither in the full mission or in shorter tests focused on different aspects of ship capability. Testsand missions end with a summary screen giving data on ship performance, such as time spent,number of collisions, and points scored. Students use this data to improve their ship design

Observations also include student notebooks which have lesson reflectionquestions as prompts for connecting lessons, empathy and real-world connections. The thirdmeans of data collection is interviews with students. Participants are asked interview questions atthe end of the program reflecting on the lessons and how they connected empathy andengineering. The interviews consist of questions such as: was there a time during the day whenyou connected with a peer or teacher and learned about how they felt about their project or thetopic at the time? If so, how did this connection affect you? and think back to a time today whenyou were faced with a challenge. What did you do to try and tackle

This was done deliberately in 2019 to allow the evaluation to focus on gatheringself-reported data from students. However, future evaluations of the Summer Accelerator shouldinclude data collected from multiple sources, including students, program instructors, andparents. This will provide richer information from multiple perspectives on the outcomes forstudents participating in the Summer Accelerator.

This puzzlingfinding is a result of small differences between males and females at both baseline and post.Females had slightly lower scores at baseline and slightly higher scores at post than males (SeeTable 1). While neither of these were statistically significant, they reflect that females hadgreater overall gains in scores than males. Assessing the change in scores within gender showedthat, at post, females saw significant improvements in attitudes towards engineering, importanceof feedback, growth mindset, and the importance of multiple perspectives when compared totheir pretest scores.

These include: use of manipulatives and hands-on learning;cooperative learning; discussion and inquiry; questioning and conjectures; justification ofthinking; writing for reflection and problem solving; use of problem-solving approach; integrationof technology; teacher as a facilitator; and use of assessment as a part of instruction. In addition,understanding students’ misconceptions also supports teachers’ pedagogy [10,19].The research literature indicates that providing effective technology PD to STEM teachers has apositive effect on teacher and student learning
