Only 69.7% of high school graduatesattend college [8], and more than half of college students who declare in a STEM field will changemajors or drop out of school entirely, meaning 11% of HS graduates become qualified STEMprofessionals, and the deficit would not be met if 100% of STEM students graduated.

Understanding moreabout how undergraduate engineering students develop identities as engineers will helpengineering educators better prepare students for engineering careers and support those studentsduring their postsecondary experiences. Much of the current research on engineering identity takes engineering as a monolithicdiscipline. In other words, it is taken as a given that different engineering disciplines function inthe same way with respect to engineering identity development. However, previous research hasshown that the culture of engineering disciplines do, in fact, differ from each other—forexample, some disciplines, such as biomedical engineering, civil engineering, and chemicalengineering, are more inclusive of gender diversity than

However, few studies have linked these two activities to increased interest andparticipation in teaching careers related to STEM. Due to changing national standards anddemographics, the next generation of K-12 teachers will be required to integrate STEM into theirclassrooms while dealing with students of diverse backgrounds that may differ significantly fromtheir own. Of concern are the elementary or K-6 teachers who will be expected to include STEMin their lessons but do not

While not all graduate students gointo teaching careers, it is important that they learn how to communicate effectively and havemeaningful experiences with diverse students. Grad Student STEM Share allows graduatestudents to have introductory classroom experiences in a guided manner.
