important mechanism of cultural reproduction inengineering education is what education scholars call “the hidden curriculum”, which can bedefined as “the set of structured learning experiences or conditions that occur beyond designintent and apart from the explicit curriculum” [1]. Engineering education scholars have exploreddifferent ways the hidden curriculum manifests and impacts student experiences [2] [3], givingspecial attention to impacts on underrepresented and marginalized student groups [4] [5].This paper derives from a larger project exploring cultural reproduction in engineering with afocus on how engineering students and recent graduates think about individual and professionalethics [6].

By extension, students may also be less likely to sign up on their own forextracurricular engineering activities such as clubs or summer camps. Early exposure to scienceand math is linked with students’ interest in engineering careers [11]. Though the survey used inthis evaluation has been used in research studies and evaluations of other K-12 outreach projects[12], those researchers have not focused on the survey’s questions about the personal factorsstudents consider when choosing a career field. In addition to early exposure, other studies havefound that students’ STEM career interests are influenced by their parents, teachers, classes, andSTEM

Given recent infrastructurelegislation, many more civil engineers will likely be required to design, build, and maintain theseproposed projects.

Often, the tests currently usedin literature and the subsequent course or curriculum appear to result in score gains of studentsafter the intervention [3]. We are questioning whether this could be a result of the test notaccurately capturing the spatial visualization skills initially, whether this reflects ceiling/flooreffect in statistical data analyses, or if gains
