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

, educators and policy makers have expressed growing concerns over thelevels of math and science achievement among American students and the gradual decline in thenumbers of young people moving into science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)careers [1], [2], [3]. These concerns have led to the development of new standards for scienceand technology education [4], [5], [6], policy initiatives aimed at promoting science andtechnology education [7], [8],[9], and to a growing body of research on math and sciencelearning and the pathways leading to STEM-related careers [10], [11].

, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are currently major focuses of pre-college education in the United States. This is partially an effort to produce a greater number andvariety of STEM professionals; it is thought that this effort will help the US remain competitivein a global economy [1], [2]. Regardless of career choice, STEM education has the potential toimprove the STEM literacy of all students [3]. One of the current trends in STEM education isthe integration of the four disciplines. A main goal of integrating STEM in pre-collegeclassrooms is that students can make connections within and between the STEM disciplines,which has the potential to deepen their understanding of each discipline [4].Of the STEM subjects, engineering has
