to entering college generally experience greater success in the first year of an engineering program. Our AB7G cohort model begins in the third grade. Students are registered as a class and begin a supplemental course that enhances and measures their success against state-recognized goals. Ab7G Objectives: •Increase self efficacy in students from historically underrepresented groups through mentorship and engagement •Provide ethnicity and gender-matched mentors to historically underrepresented students through engaging Purdue engineering and STEM students •Engage parents in fun activities to increase their involvement in student learning activities The AB7G program meets on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month. There is no cost

camps arepositioned to reduce these challenges by offering girl participants more opportunities to directlycontribute to STEM related components of the project.Prior research has provided insight into girls’ attitudes towards STEM and methods forencouraging their persistence (Microsoft, 2018; Mosatche, Matloff-Nieves, Kekelis, & Lawner,2013; Dasgupta & Stout, 2014; McGrath, 2004, Hughes, 2013, Seron, 2016). Although thestudies identified the need to improve self-efficacy and a sense of belonging with efforts such asproviding female role models and opportunities for teamwork, these studies did not address girls’perception of belonging in STEM teamwork activities. SEEK insights suggest differentperceptions exist between girls and boys

Paper ID #24879The Effectiveness of Engineering Camps as Pre-College Recruitment ToolsMalle Schilling, University of Dayton Malle Schilling is planning to pursue a PhD in Engineering Education. As an undergraduate mechanical engineering student at the University of Dayton, she explored the effects of engineering camps on par- ticipants’ self-efficacy in engineering and other issues of diversity and inclusion in engineering. She is interested in engineering education, diversity in engineering, outreach and policy.Dr. Margaret Pinnell, University of Dayton Dr. Margaret Pinnell is the Associate Dean for Faculty and Staff
