These gender gaps in STEM interest and STEM-related careerssignal the need for broadening the participation of women and students of color in STEM fields[8]. There is mounting evidence of the impact of STEM enrichment programs on changingstudents’ attitudes toward STEM subjects, stimulating the interests of K-12 students, influencingstudents’ self-efficacy, improving retention for STEM in schools, and expanding students’ senseof STEM career options

The individual characteristics of careermotivation theory are identified as (1) career identity, which is the relationship between one’scareer and identity, including the desire for upward mobility; (2) career insight, which is theperceptions of oneself and the organization, and how these perceptions are related to careergoals; and (3) career resilience, which is the resistance to career disruptions in less than optimalwork environment conditions, including self-efficacy, risk taking, and dependency [20].

For example anindividual’s prior experiences and background (culture, gender, genetic endowment, sociostructuralconsiderations, and disability or health status) impact the nature and range of their career possibilitiesconsidered. In theory, SCCT aims to describe the intersection of self-efficacy beliefs, outcomeexpectations, and goals11. Self-efficacy, defined by Bandura, is one’s own belief about one’s ability toachieve a task12. This derives from four primary sources: performance outcomes, vicarious experiences,verbal persuasion, and physiological experiences. Self-efficacy is a task level theory; it is useful in classsettings where students can perceive separate domains

Recently, Spurzer, Douglas, Folkerts, and Williams (2017)developed an assessment framework for the first-year introduction to engineering courses whichfocuses on student-learning objectives. While this is much needed, there is an opportunity toexpand beyond assessing only student-learning objectives to include student-growth objectives(e.g., motivation, identity, self-efficacy, integration). The term student-growth objective is coinedfrom the ever-expanding research and instruments used to measure

and low-income students are least likely to matriculate withengineering degrees [3], suggesting these populations may demonstrate decreased self-efficacy.Self-efficacy beliefs are significant predictors of academic success, where STEM-specific self-efficacy beliefs relate to entry and retention in STEM majors [4]. Moreover, it has been foundthat women and minority students are less likely to report interest in STEM fields [4]. Thesefindings are important, because students who express measured interest in STEM are more likelyto major in science and engineering, and are more likely to persist in those majors [1].

Engineering Teachers’ Literacy InstructionPeople enter and exit science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pathwaysat different points in their educational trajectories (Cannady, Greenwald, & Harris, 2014;Maltese, Melki, & Wiebke, 2014), but middle school is an especially critical juncture forcapturing and maintaining youths’ interest in STEM fields. From fifth to eighth grade,adolescents’ interest in STEM often declines (Gonzales et al., 2008; Osborne, Simon, &Collins, 2003), and many develop a negative sense of self-efficacy regarding their potentialto succeed in future STEM courses (Chen & Usher, 2013). Though many people exit STEMpathways before they enter high school, this problem is especially pronounced

Computational thinking practices in STEM will focus on students gaining experience in practices for data management, computational problem solving, modeling and simulations and systems thinking.

Expectancy-Value Theory, developed by JacquelineEccles, to understand the factors influencing students’ persistence in engineering. AsMatusovich et al. explains [6], Expectancy-Value Theory suggests that a student’s decision topersist is shaped by: 1) their expectancy or belief that they can succeed in engineering (i.e., “CanI do this?”) and 2) the value or importance they put on engineering (i.e., “Do I want to do this?”).Expectancy beliefs can include: - Engineering self-efficacy (i.e., confidence in one’s ability) - Expectations for success in engineeringValue beliefs can include: - Intrinsic interest (enjoyment of engineering activities or interest in engineering) - Attainment (importance of doing well in engineering in terms of one’s
