that support underrepresented high school students interested in STEM. Thesearch resulted in a full-text review of 25 articles that explore programmatic outcomes for pre-college students with the intent to diversify the STEM workforce. Initial findings suggest that thegoal of these intervention programs is to provide enriching experiences for these students toencourage interests to pursue a STEM career as well as boost confidence in STEM subjects.Metrics used to target the effectiveness of programs revolved around three criteria: (1) studentacademic achievement in science and math, (2) matriculation through a STEM major and (3)competency in engineering-oriented skills. Three common recommendations for more robustprograms are well-prepared STEM

However,not every student is provided with opportunities to engage, learn and achieve in STEM subjectareas. Engineering topics are further excluded from curricula when the focus is on Science andMathematics. The Public-School District involved in this study has 35,000 students and 75% ofthem are from under-represented minority communities. Over the years, the schools offering ahigh school Algebra-based Physics course decreased as a larger number of schools faced staffing,scheduling, or other issues.

According to the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) [4], URM graduate students only earned about 9% of the overall doctoraldegrees awarded in 2015 and about 13% of undergraduate degrees. This evidence suggests thatSTEM doctoral programs in the U.S. are severely deficient in representation from students ofdifferent racial and ethnic groups.

Through students’participation, program leadership and researchers expect students to internalize attitudes andbehaviors that can support a future career in STEM. As a result, the program design intends todefine what it means to be STEM professional for the pre-college participants. By exposingdiverse pre-college students to the field of engineering, the program design becomes a criticalcomponent of the STEM education ecosystem that defines who belongs and what counts inengineering education.This paper uses critical reflection to challenge cultural ideologies commonly embedded in aninformal engineering program.
