disciplines become more a part of day-to-day life forchildren and teens, it is important to understand how these interactions affect children’s views ofthe engineering field and their place in it.One way to investigate pre-college students’ views of engineering and their place in theengineering field is through the construct of identity. Identity has many definitions, but is oftenframed around the question “Who are you?” [15], or “the ‘kind of person’ one is seeking to beand enact in the here and now”[16]. However, since pre-college students are still in the processof making career decisions, it may be more appropriate to look at identity as who students seethemselves becoming, such as through the framework of possible future selves [17] or

Enrollment inmany STEM fields is declining and similarly, the amount of students who pursue agraduate degree in science and engineering fields in the U.S. has been decreasing since1993 [4].Research shows that parents are important models in children’s decision makingregarding career and life aspirations [1, 5-8]. Many studies have shown that parentalinvolvement and parental expectations help students to have greater ambition for schoolsuccess and career development [4, 9, 10]. These results are echoed by many others [11-15]. Because parental influence plays a significant role in children’s educationalachievements and career choices, parents can represent the necessary solution

Studies have found that in their careers, Blacks need to reconcile existing within twocultures, their personal Black culture and the dominant White workplace culture [13], [14], [17].As stated by Feagin and Sikes, “White workplaces rarely accommodate basic black interests andvalues. Instead, black employees are expected to assimilate” [13, p. 163]. Bell suggested that away to handle the dichotomy is to compartmentalize the two cultures [17]. The arduous task ofnavigating between the two cultures can result in loss of identity and psychological stress [14],[17].Intersectionality of race and gender have significant impacts for Black females in the workplace.This double jeopardy, or double-bind, has been studied by

University After earning my B.S. in Engineering Science at Penn State University (2007), I began working as an audio-video engineer/designer. I then made a career transition to teach high school physics. Having sparked my love for education, I went back to school to earn my M.S. in Industrial & Systems Engineering (2015) and my Ph.D. in Engineering Education (2016). My first faculty job was at Rowan University in southern New Jersey, where I had the honor of helping develop their first-year engineering and B.S. in Engineering Entrepreneurship programs.

This directly translates to many students at the primary andsecondary educational levels often avoiding the consideration of STEM-related careers aftergraduation or even opportunities to further their knowledge in advanced mathematics and sciencewhile still in school. To ensure that the United States remains competitive on a global scale, it isimportant that this trend be changed. One way to do this
