Page 22.265.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 ATTRACTING K-12 STUDENTS TOWARDS ENGINEERING DISCIPLINES WITH PROJECT BASED LEARNING MODULESAbstract Low enrollment and high attrition rates in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math(STEM) based degree programs have created a workforce problem in industries like shipbuildingand repair which are important for national security. Part of this problem can be attributed topedagogical issues like lack of engaging hands-on activities utilized for science and matheducation in middle and high schools. Lack of student interest in technical careers can also beattributed to lack of an integrated approach in
