Factors Influencing the Interest Level of Secondary Students going into STEM fields and their parents’ perceived interest in STEM (Evaluation)Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines are essential to societyand to competing in the global economy [1]. The role of STEM education has evolved fromproviding students with STEM content knowledge and understanding, to preparing students to beinterested in and committed to pursuing careers in the STEM workforce. According to thePresident’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, “We must prepare all students,including girls and minorities, who are underrepresented in these fields, to be proficient in STEMsubjects. And we must inspire all students to learn STEM

students identifyingundergraduate engineering students as role models.IntroductionUniversity-based outreach initiatives are a major driver in K-12 engineering education. In theUnited States, an estimated 600,000 K-12 students participate in university-led engineeringoutreach annually [1]. Reaching students as young as elementary school is important as studentsform their interests and impressions in engineering and other STEM disciplines early [2], [3],[4], [5] and those interests often decline in middle school [5], [6], [7], [8]. It is widely believedthat university outreach programs can increase and broaden participation in engineering studyand careers by introducing youth to undergraduate students as engineering role models.
