Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Connecting Middle School Students’ Personal Interests, Self-efficacy, andPerceptions of Engineering to Develop a Desire to Pursue Engineering Career Pathways (Work in Progress)AbstractWith the increased exposure to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)through activities in-school and out-of-school K-12 learning environments and representation inmedia outlets, students who attend our summer engineering intervention tend to articulate a moreholistic understanding of the role of engineers within society. However, despite this increasedexposure and a diverse understanding, students from diverse backgrounds (e.g.,racially/ethnically diverse and women) still pursue

and learning of engineering.IntroductionAmong racial/ethnic minorities in the U.S., Latinx are particularly underrepresented inengineering. While the Latinx population is the fastest growing major racial/ethnic group in theU.S [1, 2] and Latinx workers make up 15% of the general workforce, they compromise only 7%of the STEM workforce [3]. Although different scholars have offered several reasons behindwhy Latinx students do not pursue STEM careers–particularly engineering–many scholars haveargued that one particularly powerful reason is that the cultures of students do not fit the“cultures of engineering” [4]. For instance, the National Academy of Engineering and NationalResearch Council argued that engineering “curricular materials do not

At the same time the programs provide them with the full college and careerreadiness experience. The main goals of this program are to: (1) introduce students to a widevariety of STEAM fields, (2) increase student’s engineering mathematics and scienceknowledge, and (3) facilitate students to learn about different STEAM fields they might beinterested in pursuing.To assess the impact of the program, the participants took a pre and post content knowledge testthat included basic
