willpresent a theoretical framework of systems-thinking, describe the prior state of engineeringoutreach in our College, outline how our shared vision for community engineering outreachdeveloped, recount how our team formed, and outline several successful outcomes from ourefforts using this innovative approachFirst, we want to define outreach as we see it. We believe that outreach is a form of experientiallearning for both the K-12 students and the college students involved in the process. As weengage in outreach, we try to connect the dots between what a K-12 student might be interestedin and the potential future possibilities that pursuing a degree and career in engineering mightafford them. We are not there to convince students they must become

Shah, The Pennsylvania State University Darshita (Dipa) Shah is the Curriculum Director for Youth Engineering Solutions at The Pennsylvania State University. Dipa has spent her career grappling with the challenge of how to best design motivating and engaging curriculum materials for students across the K-16 spectrum that can be practically imple- mented across the rich variety of our nation’s educational contexts. Most recently, Dipa was the senior associate director with MIT’s Teaching and Learning Lab where she facilitated workshops for campus educators on how to design curricular materials, implement evidence-informed pedagogies, and

itprovides a basis for building communities. I will return to the idea of creating an SELaware classroom in part 5 of the framework.Part 1: Intentional Grouping Almost every career-oriented role requires collaboration skills; setting studentsup for success using intentionally created student-selected groups is an essential startto any culturally aware STEM classroom. Intentional grouping involves several differenttools that help teachers ensure student success. Brown, et al, write: “When teachers aremindful of the important aspects of group dynamics, such as size, ability, gender, andrace, and plan teams accordingly, every student—particularly those from marginalizedbackgrounds—is set up for success [5].” Teachers need to consider the

interest (e.g.,[26], [27]). This decline is particularly pronounced in middle-school girls (e.g., [24]). Given thatengineering is perceived as a career for people who are good at math and science (e.g., [28]) and thedocumented drop in math and science interest, middle school girls are at a critical tipping point wherefuture outreach may be ineffectual. Once the troops were selected, the research team attended individualtroop meetings to ask parents to grant permission for their child to participate in the study. The minorparticipants provided verbal assent to the study prior to the initial interview. It is important to note thattroop members were not required to participate in the study to take part in earning the engineering badge;however, most

There are retention efforts provided for the curricular support program that scholarshave contribute to motivation and outcomes of STEM interdisciplinary degree completion. Our efforts tosupport pre-college STEM education includes an understanding of college readiness and the learningenvironment using project-based learning (PBL).

Individuals working in STEM-related careers have beencredited with creating some of the most important contributions to societal advancement [2].Therefore, there will be a need for a substantial number of STEM professionals in the future.This demand has been reflected in future employment projections.

documented how talking about science and engineeringconcepts with family and friends, particularly parents and siblings, is one of the mostinfluential informal learning experiences on individual’s identity development andpursuit of a career in STEM [1-2]. This research points to the home environment andfamily connections as another, and perhaps an alternative, context to support thedevelopment and growth of youth’s identity in STEM than more formal (e.g.,classrooms) and non-formal (e.g., museums, libraries) contexts. As such, utilizing thehome environment has the potential to diminish barriers and access to STEMlearning opportunities due to cost and cultural and structural inequalities, as well aspromote families’ everyday experiences and

Engineering: Perspectives of Engineering Faculty (Work in Progress)IntroductionDespite a growing emphasis on engineering in grades K-12, persistently high dropout ratesplague undergraduate engineering programs [1],[2]. Prior studies indicate that engineeringactivities have the potential to increase interest in engineering pathways [3] or develop anengineering identity [4]. Less clear is whether pre-college engineering instruction alsocontributes to students' success in engineering career pathways by adequately preparing studentsfor undergraduate engineering. One concern is that K-12 engineering lessons "may mislead orunder prepare [students] by providing activities that they enjoy but which have little relation toengineering

advocates forthe interdisciplinary infusion of engineering within the context of collaboratively engaginglearners in real-world problems (NGSS Lead States, 2013; ISTE, 2017; ITEEA, 2020). As such,K-12 STEM teachers need adaptable conceptual and epistemic understandings of engineering asdiscrete disciplinary knowledge, skills, and career paths (Bryan & Guzey, 2020). Understandingengineering in this way means being able to recognize and articulate it as more than merely a sub-construct of science (Van den Bogaard et al., 2021), but rather a related yet distinct disciplinewith its own highly contextual and culturally bound practices, processes, and outcomes (Lewis,2006; Pleasants, 2020).

The interdisciplinary approach of industrial engineering integrates conceptsfrom psychology, biology, and mathematics with engineering principles, which could bridge theinterest gap among female students.
