The remaining 21% were math or science educationmajors whose expertise included developing lesson plans and teaching to the needs of middleand high school students.The second group comprises middle and high school students. Career choices begin formingtoward the end of middle and beginning of high school. When students demonstrate an interestand talent in STEM, it is important to encourage these students in their pursuit of this interest. Tomeasure the success of the encouragement, one must begin asking some valuable questions.Which lesson plans were most successful? Did the students seem

Eachyear, the program lasted six weeks and consisted of 120 hours of informal project-based learning,with each section grounded in different engineering challenges.Starting in 2015, the institution began to offer a new section called the “Makerspace” section inorder to address the demand for modern technologies and skills sets, such as rapid

amongunderrepresented youth who often decide from an early age that STEM careers are not “forme” (Riegle-Crumb, Moore, & Ramos-Wanda, 2011).To address this problem, educators and researchers have designed many instructionalapproaches intended to inspire young adolescents to pursue STEM careers. In the discipline ofscience, one especially promising approach has been literacy-infused instruction, whichincreases adolescents’ understandings of scientific principles (Hand, Wallace, & Yang, 2004;Romance & Vitale, 1992: Spence, Yore, & Williams, 1999) with even greater effect sizes forunderrepresented populations (Cervetti, Barber, Dorph, Pearson, & Goldschmidt, 2012; Chen,Hand, & McDowell, 2013; Greenleaf et al., 2011).

In engineering contexts identity has primarily been studied in undergraduate students andadults, in the contexts of career choices and retention of students within programs [5]. Sfard andPrusak [6] propose an idea of identity that is shaped around narratives. They posit that identitiesare the stories individuals and the people around them tell about themselves. Identities havemany facets, authors, and audiences. Self-perpetuating narratives of success and failure shapeidentity. Institutional narratives, such as success and failure in the school setting, are particularlyinfluential over the way a student may think about their identity [6].

However, caregivers’ values and their acknowledgement ofthe importance of STEM education were related to children’s interests and career aspirationdevelopment in STEM fields.

effects caused by the lack of parental participation in university education,prior educational disadvantages, among other risk factors (Cabrera, 2001). To overcome thesechallenges, many initiatives with both private and public funding have been deployed. Amongthese, engineering schools in the US have developed educational programs to instill engineeringabilities while students are still in high school. These programs have been called pre-engineeringprograms.Academic studies have showcased the benefits of pre-engineering education. For example, thesetype of programs in K-12 are linked to higher self-efficacy in engineering (Fantz, Siller &DeMiranda, 2011), increases in pursuing STEM careers due to the early exposure to math andsciences (Raines

(Chabalengulaet al., 2017). The grouping of engineering as part of STEM has essentially left the decision to teachengineering topics in pre-college setting up to science or technology teachers (Honey et al., 2014;NGSS Lead States, 2013).If engineering is offered as its own course, it is typically included under the Career and TechnicalEducation (CTE) electives (Lewis & Zuga, 2005). This option then leads to other challenges ofmeeting state CTE standards that tend to emphasize technology learning. The decision to lumpengineering in with these other disciplines is also closely tied to the difficulties associated withfinding teachers trained in engineering content areas. The majority of currently available pre-service teacher education does not cover
