This survey measured the attitudes and interest ofstudents towards STEM fields and has four sections, each pertaining to one part of STEM. Eachsection included 11 questions for a total of 44 questions. The STEM CIS included questions suchas, “I am interested in careers that involve engineering”. The survey was a 5-point Likert scalefrom ‘Strongly Agree’ to ‘Strongly Disagree’.At the end of each engineering camp, students completed the post-survey. The pre and postsurveys contained the same set of questions concerning interest in STEM. The post-survey alsoincluded students’ ratings of

towards a STEM career is an area of active research with many variedapproaches attempted to increase interest in a STEM major. Typical approaches includecoursework (e.g. Project Lead The Way), robotics programs (e.g. FIRST), STEM exposure days(e.g. STEM Career Day), hands-on outreach to local schools, etc. Indeed, approaches tomotivate often do not stop even when STEM students are on campus, with first-year disciplinarycourses including hands-on activities aimed at cultivating interest and motivation for that major.While education and exposure are important steps, many students in STEM areas still have littleidea of what would be a “typical day” for them at the workplace (once they graduate).Accordingly, the University of Akron has developed the
