As we continue to navigate this ongoing process, we areconsidering the lessons we have learned and continue building upon our strategies forimprovement.

Her father was one of eight children and he completed his formal education at the end ofeighth grade in order to find a job to help support the family. This was typical of the time(1930’s), and within his community and social economic status of first generation immigrants tothe United States. Amy’s father learned a trade (welding) that enabled him to have a lifetime ofsteady employment in order for him to provide for his family. Amy remembers that her father atvarious times worked overtime, double time, second or third shift, each of which had differentincentives that increased the hourly wage for the

Thisstudy will be conducted with the goal of learning how working with a LLC can create value forthe FYECS through using Wenger et al.’s Value Creation Framework [1]. Through the use of theValue Creation Framework, the researchers will provide a foundation for the evaluation processwhere the integration of heterogeneous sources of data will help to create a picture of hownetworks or communities can potentially create value for the FYECS [1].For this study, purposeful sampling

measureable benefits. These benefits include increased confidence andinterest in science and engineering pursuits. Students also acquire a meaningful understanding ofthe engineering design process, and particularly its iterative nature. The communitycontextualization has been observed to provide further benefits by making the relevance ofSTEM a central feature of the student engagement. Further study is needed to determine if thisalso facilitates communication between students, families, and community members, positioningthese students as STEM ambassadors able to relate the value of engineering to their community.References1Kosovich,J.

The study also concluded thatgirls, although not limited in their ability, need positive mentor or instructor support to overcomeingrained stereotypes (Stoeger et al., 2013). The gender gap in this study may have been closeddue to the STEM focused school culture, various kinds of activities at school in addition to theSTEM extracurricular clubs.Table 3: The impact of gender on STEM perception based on STEM club enrollment p<0.05 Gender Sig.
