The committee identified severaldeleterious results if this trend continued, including the reduction of the United States’ competitiveeconomic edge. Stated benefits of improved science and technological literacy included theprovision of essential preparation for all careers in the modern workforce. Moreover, without aflourishing scientific and engineering community, young people may not be motivated to dreamof “what can be,” and might have inadequate motivation to become the next generation of scientistsand engineers that can address persistent national problems including national and homelandsecurity, health care, the provision of energy, the preservation of the

Three categories ofself-efficacy measures used are: 1) general academic self-efficacy, 2) domain-general self-efficacy, and 3) self-efficacy measures for specific engineering tasks or skills [5]. Generalacademic self-efficacy scales broadly assess engineering students’ beliefs in their capabilities toperform academically or perception of their competence to do the work [5]. The second, adaptedfrom general academic self-efficacy, domain-general self-efficacy asks students to rate theirgeneral confidence within a particular subject area of engineering [5].

Qualitative analysis of the participants' data sets revealed that the TaLENt fellowsutilized the High-Quality Engineering Guidebook in several ways to address the needs of theirteams.

However, based on findings from fourth-and fifth-grade girls participating in an engineering outreach program, we question whetheryouth in this age group are looking for engineering role models, and we challenge theassumption that youth take up an individual as a role model simply because a program attemptsto position them in this way. This has led us to question what role these “models” play in theminds and lives of youth, and we argue that it may differ from what we have believed. In thisstudy, we seek to answer the following: 1) Are elementary-aged girls looking for role models?;2) How do girls perceive
