Pre-College Engineering Education Division

Engineering Education, 2017 In recent years, much attention has been paid to a general lack of skilled workersand the lack of diversity in the domain of engineering (e.g., Andrews & Clark, 2016;Mukuni, 2015). Numerous studies have indicated the importance of addressing this issuein K-12 education due to increasingly negative attitudes toward science with age,particularly beginning at the middle school level (Baram-Tsabari, Sethi, Bry, & Yarden,2006; Sadler, Sonnert, Hazari, & Tai, 2012). Young adolescents in the middle gradesoften begin to develop their subject area affinities (Kessels, 2011) and embark onprograms of study that ultimately determine their career pathways (Hannover & Kessels,2002). Therefore, providing high
