Itis essential, then, to consider what opportunities elementary-aged children have to develop theirbeliefs, interests, and self-efficacy related to STEM.To address the minoritization of underrepresented groups, including girls, many initiatives andinterventions have been developed through STEM programs. For elementary-aged children,these types of programs often take shape as targeted out-of-school programs.

FYE courses are frequently taught in large-enrollment settings, which adds logistical complexity to supplying and supervising hands-onprototyping across a large number of students. Lastly, engineering design challenges must bethoughtfully scaffolded in FYE courses to help novice students navigate complex, longer-termprojects in a team-based setting. Prior work by our group and others [Authors 2018, 2019,citation redacted for review] have shown unequal distribution of tasks on team-based projects,caused in part by differences in self-efficacy and prior experiences.

Previous research also explained that students’ earlyengineering interest was the most influential predictor of their engineering major and careerchoice. Therefore, it is necessary to examine students’ engineering career interest trajectoriesprior to college to better understand how students develop or hinder their interest in anengineering career.

. ‘Non-persisting’ students are those leaving engineering because of the academic climate, grades, self-efficacy, high school preparation, career goals, and gender or race [20]. Moreover, students leave STEM because of a lack of belonging [3], [24], “chilly” climate [25], microaggressions [26], conflicting identities [26]–[28], and not identifying with the field [29]–[31]. This literature on student perceptions highlights how their decisions are influenced by how they see themselves as being capable. This suggests how students’ perceptions affect their decisions which can be influenced by several cognitive and non-cognitive factors. Therefore, students’ observations in school inform the actions they take, and what they see as
