To meet this projected demand, STEM professions must prioritize recruitment.Outreach initiatives are well-known recruitment tools that professionals in industry and academiacan implement to encourage student recruitment into STEM degree fields. While most outreachinitiatives typically focus on high school students, research shows that students’ career decisionsare influenced at a much earlier age. Therefore, it is necessary for industry and academia totarget an even younger demographic all the way to kindergarten and first grade. This paperhighlights different outreach initiatives developed in academia and industry to teach K-12students about STEM. The

As a result, a majority of engineering students graduate without adequate training inhow to solve problems, communicate and collaborate across disciplines, and make critical designdecisions (e.g. related to design, materials sourcing, manufacturing, distribution, disposal, etc.),all of which are fundamental to preparing engineers to succeed in their profession and meettoday’s sustainability-related challenges by developing cutting-edge technological solutions thatare not only more sustainable but net zero

The relativelynarrow focus of the program objectives was necessary considering the requirements of therequest for proposals and funding agency. This program was funded from 2010-2014 throughthe US Department of Energy Vehicle Technologies Office under American Recovery andReinvestment Act (ARRA) authority and guidelines. The emphasis in all ARRA projects was onworkforce development, job placement and economic stimulus, and the strategic objective of theHEVE program was to
departmental-level leadership classes available to both chemical and materialsengineering majors, and more recently an expansion of the program to a broader set of studentsacross the college through a set of elective courses. Moreover, the college is developing aleadership module for its introductory engineering course work for all students in the college.Longitudinal studies of the attitudes of graduates who participated in these efforts will greatlyaugment our current understanding of where college efforts are bearing fruit and where futureimprovements are required.Literature Cited:[1] Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.

: • Generate data in naturalistic settings that are chosen or intentionally designed to affirm the participants.Handling DataRelatedly, deficit views are often perpetuated when people exclusively focus on individualsrather than focusing on the ecologies in which they are embedded. For example, NAEP hasfound that African Americans performed worse than White students on measures of engineeringand technology literacy.[40] Rather than blaming individuals for this finding (e.g., by saying thatthe individual students were less motivated to study engineering) researchers can look at systemsfactors, such as the characteristics of the schools that African Americans attend, whether or notthe tasks on the engineering assessment were culturally congruent

Moreover, by aggre-gating and contextualizing real-world experiences—including those from novel environments suchas space exploration—the framework bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and practicalapplications. This capability holds particular promise for engineering and STEM education, whereinstructors increasingly incorporate examples from emerging technologies like robotics, automa-tion, and virtual reality. Through formative assessments and timely, context-driven interventions,learners can build foundational knowledge while developing the adaptability and critical thinkingskills needed to engage with cutting-edge innovations.Beyond individual learning, this framework has

‘transformative learning’ may be relevant [30-34].Mezirow [30] described the goal of higher education is to help individuals become “moreautonomous, socially responsible thinkers”, and linked transformation theory to moral values[30, p. 8-9]. The large differences in culture during international travel or engagement perhapsresult in discomfort or ‘disorienting dilemmas’ [31-34]. Thus, one’s awareness of needs isheightened, one recognizes the role that engineering and technology could play in helping, andone’s sense of responsibility to help through engineering is catalyzed. However, transformativelearning theory stresses the role of critical reflection and discourse in transforming experienceinto changes in one’s attitudes, values, and/or knowledge [30
