, there are a number of studies that have adopted goal orientation as aframework to investigate engineering students’ motivation [21]. Most of these studies, however,targeted graduate, undergraduate, or high school students, and little research has focusedspecifically on younger children. Meanwhile, research on children’s engineering design anddesign thinking (e.g., [22]) and related motivation constructs, such as identity or attitude (e.g.,[23]), has increased in the past few years. Often featuring hands-on, project-based tasks andlearning experiences, engineering design activities provide opportunities for children to work onreal-world challenges using engineering tools and materials within contexts that focus onproblem-solving and systems

These pre-engineering students thenmatriculate into college without a full understanding of the engineering discipline, the impactengineers have on solving societal problems, or the impact they themselves could have with theirengineering skill set. Unfortunately, the graduation rate for engineering students in the U.S. hasnot budged much over the past decades, with the attrition rate from engineering surpassing thatof most other majors [7]. Studies though have shown that when students are involved in co-curricular activities, such as internships, undergraduate research programs, and learningcommunities, retention does improve.
