The program must aim to foster students’ interest in coresubjects, engagement in learning activities, and improved self-efficacy, which is central to thedevelopment of students’ academic motivation [10].Studies have shown that rural students are less likely to attend colleges, have greater gapsbetween high school graduation and entering college, and are less likely to be continuouslyenrolled in college [11]. In addition, many rural students don’t see the connection between theirhigh school education and careers. Math and science focused programs can help rural studentsaim high while providing real-world, experiential learning opportunities. These experiences canmotivate students to engage in more rigorous coursework, envision

The purpose of the second face-to-face session was to prepare theparticipants adequately for their independent project, and in retrospect, more hands-onexperience with the hardware/software is necessary for participant success. Future individualengineering projects should start with a simpler model that could be upgraded to a moreadvanced design for participants that are more skilled.

This directlypoints to a student’s schooling, and skills and abilities prior to joining the institution.Intentions, goals, and commitments were identified as attitudinal factors (motivation,confidence, and self -efficacy to STEM) in the report. Formal academic experiences such aslow academic performance and rigor involved with introductory STEM courses lead studentsto drop out while informal academic experiences such inadequate advising, negativeexperiences with faculty were cited as reasons for the same.

And yet, Rebecca also enjoys a sense of solidarity withmale engineering peers.
