For example, somestudies report that the diversity gap in STEM participation may be attributed more to perceptionsand beliefs than to academic preparation or achievement levels [1-5]. To the extent that suchperceptions and beliefs form an inaccurate (or “negative”) vision of a future engineering career,curricular approaches that aim to form a more “positive” vision may be warranted. Theseapproaches can be pedagogical, such as collaborative and project-based learning [6-8], content-based by aiming (for example) to expose the positive contributions of engineering to society [9-12], or both.
