paper examines the incremental impacts of a pre-college STEM outreach program usingthree longitudinal surveys – opening, mid-program, and end-of-program surveys. Findingsdemonstrate how students’ self-evaluations and perspectives on STEM college education changeover time while attending a summer program, which will help educators and outreach projectdirectors better design and implement such programs.

It is to “promote the Science, Technology,Engineering and Math (STEM) disciplines in transportation-education and career opportunitiesamong middle and high school students, including at-risk youth.” [7] The NSTI

Drawing evidence fromlengthy personal geographies written by sixteen international educators, this paper reports that akey feature of their pathways has been experiences outside home countries that led them toquestion their own knowledge and normative commitments and want others, prospectiveengineers in particular, to have opportunities for similar experiences. Characterized here as“adding identities” outside home countries, these transformational steps helped motivatesubsequent efforts to add practices to engineering education that would challenge students toconfront their assumptions about the knowledge

Women, often, are more likely to give upor not start an academic career due to the stress involved and the perceivedlack of support from both academia and society. Women were also more likelyto seek support for mental health needs, seek out information about supportservices, and generally admit to having mental health needs (Hyun et al. 2006,p. 255, 257). This also means that men who may be experiencing mental dis-tress are not as likely to seek out support and could continue to suffer

One study found that FGS are often not adequately informedabout STEM educational pathways and career opportunities [13]. However, according to Ma[14], students from low socioeconomic status (SES) families (measured by parental educationlevel, occupation, and income) are more likely than high SES students to choose careers that payhigher incomes, such as STEM majors. After controlling for race, ability, family income andgender, first-generation students are more likely to choose engineering than non-first-generationstudents [15], likely selecting these majors as they offer a clear and potentially stable andfinancially attractive career
