week of the course, open-ended entrance surveys were used to gauge students’ priorknowledge and current conceptions of engineering. For the entrance survey, students werespecifically asked the open-ended question, “What is an engineer?” The open-ended entrancesurvey also included short-answer questions on preferred name and pronoun(s), intended major,and particular course topics of potential excitement or concern to students. During the fifth(final) week of the course, participants were asked to reflect on their definition of what it meansto be an engineer and how these perceptions changed during STEP. These reflections werewritten, open-ended responses on the course final exam. Table 2 displays the two prompts usedfor data collection.Table 2

Table 1 presents responses from theparticipants and the average rate for students’ math/science interest and math/science success.Students were asked to provide a rate using the scale (1 “Do Not Like” to 10 “Like A Lot”)gauging interest and (1 “Low success” to 10 “Very high success”) gauging level of success.Compared to science, students slightly rated their math skills higher for both interest and successwith an average of 8.28 for both categories. Average rating of science skills for interest andsuccess were 7.97 and 7.92, respectively. More 10’s were selected by students as their perceivedrate for math interest and success (12 and

Technology affords incredible access forlearners to connect with others, explore topics of interest, and participate in opportunitiesotherwise unavailable to them. In addition, technology provides vast amounts of resources,both information and people, to serve as materials for
