Male Maker Program Evaluation Design An evaluation framework was developed by the Evaluation Team from SRI International thatincludes a description of project activities, inputs, output and outcomes, data to be collected andmethods of analyses (see Table 2). The evaluation was designed to address the followingresearch question; To what extent does participation in the MMM Program increase students’interest in STEM content, STEM careers, and college attendance? Student surveys werecollected at each program site. One survey used to measure career interest and interest in STEMsubjects was the Student Attitudes toward STEM (S-STEM) Survey, which invites students ingrades 6-12 to give information about their attitudes toward science, technology

Engineering and Computing (SPECTRA) program is an NSFScholarship in STEM (S-STEM)(Award # 1834081) based out of Clemson University in SouthCarolina. The SPECTRA program focuses on aiding transfer students interested in anEngineering or Computing degree by offering scholarships, opportunity to form cohorts, andaccess to professional skill-building programs. The goals of SPECTRA are as follows: (1) to provide scholarship opportunities to low-income students who wish to pursue engineering or computing at Clemson (2) to build cohorts of transfer students to support their transition into Clemson while also allowing for the Advisors for Cohorted Engineers (ACE) Fellows program to aid in the
preparation and professional development. Her 20+ publications include articles that appear in journals such as International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, Journal of Social Studies Research, School Science and Mathematics, and Mathematics Teacher. She served as the Program Chair of the Special Interest Group (SIG) Democratic Citizenship in Education of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) from 2016 to 2018. She has taught high school mathematics and holds a clear renewable teaching certificate in mathematics in the state of Georgia.

Engineering self-efficacy is emerging as a usefultheory in evaluating the confidence of students to pursue engineering related professions and theconfidence of teachers to teach engineering related content. In particular, Faber et al. [5] andYoon et al. [18] developed the Student Attitudes toward STEM (S-STEM) survey and TeachingEngineering Self-Efficacy Scale (TESS) survey, respectively. Such surveys used in conjunctionwith outreach activities may help allocate time and resources to more influential activities.

PEEPS is a cohort scholarship program that provides engineering students withfinancial, academic, and social support3. ENGR 101 was developed by two engineering faculty, aVISTA member, and supported by a curriculum expert, to expand the benefits of PEEPS to alarger number of students and to establish interventions and practices in engineering classroomsthat better support diversity on our university’s campus.
