Self-reported or subjective task value has also been linked to future course plans andactual choices of courses as well as achievement10-12. Task value has multiple componentsincluding the intrinsic, attainment, and utility value of a task as well as the perceived cost ofpursuing that task7. Intrinsic value refers to the inherent enjoyment that engineering is expectedto provide the student over the course of his or her program. Attainment, on the other hand,speaks to the student’s perception of how important the engineering course of study is to his orher future career and the

The GOAL programsought to provide K-12 students with a basic STEM learning activity kit to illustrate theengineering design process. The activity was supplemented by a curriculum that complimented in-class learning and demonstrated simple engineering concepts. Once K-12 students and teachershad used the materials, participants attended (virtually) a culminating event that introduced middleand high school students to the University
