TheSTEM Careers survey consists of 12 items that are rated across 4 levels of interest, ranging from“Not at All Interested” to “Very Interested”.After reviewing the contents of each survey and taking into account findings from previousresearch that shows youth prefer short assessments [6][7], we decided to only deploy surveysrelating to two topics relevant to DHF’s learning objectives.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, women make up only 15.9% of the totalengineering and architecture workforce (Employed Persons by Detailed Occupation, Sex, Race,and Hispanic or Latino Ethnicity, 2019). This creates an issue, as STEM peer contact correlateswith STEM retention among females (Hilts, Part & Bernacki, 2018).

StudentsIntroductionSignificant educational equity gaps exist in STEM fields for underrepresented minority (URM)students who live in the San Joaquin Valley. For this paper, URM students are defined as non-white and non-Asian, though it is recognized that there are subpopulations of URM studentswithin each of these non-URM groups. Some equity gaps present themselves as differences inacademic achievement between underrepresented minority URM students and non-URMstudents or women in STEM fields and arise due to numerous academic and social factors.Significant factors for attrition are perceptions about careers in the STEM fields, poorexperiences with the academic culture and teaching pedagogy, and declining confidence due todemanding curriculum.

A primary objective of this grant is to increase the retention andpersistence of minorities in the engineering programs by incorporating high-impact enrichmentactivities into courses early in the student’s academic career. A logical course to include high-impact activities for first-year students is the introduction to engineering courses in thedepartments, which are titled “Engineering as a Career” (GEEN 1201), within the Frank H.Dotterweich College of Engineering.This work presents the approach used for a

For middle schoolstudents, STEM allows students to begin the exploration of STEM-related careers. Finally, forthe high school, STEM prepares students for successful post-secondary education and beyond1.Among the four areas of the STEM, the research in technology and engineering education inelementary and middle schools is less mature because those subjects are not as commonly taughtin K-12 education.

Clearly the relatively small investments made byNSF in engineering education have given birth to what is becoming a well-established researchcommunity.Although the engineering education research (EER) community is growing and becoming moreestablished, it still relies heavily on Federal sources, primarily NSF, to support much of itsactivities. Thus like all other disciplines, EER is affected by the relatively flat Federal funding forresearch in recent years.

Prior studies have broadly examined what influences students to select engineeringas a major; however, little work has explored what influences students in their decision making totransition to an interdisciplinary engineering education program.
