Most students came to favor graduate education and research and their preferencesdid not change after the REU program. Students’ perceptions of research knowledge, skills, andengineering career path were all positively improved. We also identified several areas of researchskills that students were able to amass during the programs.I.

Education, 2018 The Effect of Engineering Summer Camps on Middle School Students Interest and IdentityIntroductionA persistent problem in engineering is an insufficient number of students interested in pursuingengineering as a college major and career. Under enrollment in engineering is highest forunderrepresented groups [1]. Student interest in engineering at the K-12 level has been shown topredict whether students of all backgrounds pursue engineering as a college major and career [2,3]. Middle school is a critical time where student interest, identity, and career choices begin tosolidify [4, 5].

), perceived organizational support and occupational commitment (Fouad, Singh, Capaert,Chang, & Wan, 2016). To encourage more girls to consider engineering as a career, it isimportant to understand and track attitudes towards STEM and a STEM career. Determiningwhen and if attitudes toward STEM differ between girls and boys is critical if we are tomaximize opportunities for girls to participate in a STEM career. Current studies suggest paradoxical findings: although STEM professionals arepredominantly male, girls generally achieve higher grades in (k-6) mathematics classes whencompared to boys. Higher grades in the early grades in school indicate ability for success inmathematics studies, a strong precursor of success in STEM careers

Theory states that students are more motivated to pursue a career when theybelieve the profession affords the values that they personally endorse. Goal-Congruity furthercategorizes value into two forms, agency (wealth, prestige, power), and prosocial (working withand helping others, benefitting society). In our study, we focus on the often-overlookedprosocial value. This type of value system is important for two reasons. First, with theubiquitous nature of technology in the modern world, the consequence of engineering decisionscan have a devastating impact on society, often in the aggregate over time. Considering thesocietal impact within the engineering decision making process can benefit the sustainability andaccessibility of new technologies
