engagement in engineering education systemically through a greater understanding ofschool environments that support engineering experiences for students. This work explores theexperiences of high school administrators as participants in e4usa, a national project aimed atbroadening participation in engineering at the high school level. High school administrators serve an important role in establishing school climate andgoals and can have a positive influence on student outcomes [4]. Prior work has also exploredthe influence of administrators in teacher decision making with regard to their classroom andadoption of curriculum [5,6]. While few studies have explored adoption of engineering initiativesexplicitly from administrator’s perspectives

A total of three credit hours are included in thestudent’s plan of study for a directed project as opposed to the six credit hours for a thesis. Thedirected project was intended as an applied research project that was more extensive than agraduate-level independent study but less rigorous than a Master’s thesis.

Teaching communication aspart of engineering curricula has been tried in many ways, a good overview of which is presentedin Ford and Riley4. Adding technical communication to the freshman curriculum was one of thecentral reasons for reforming the courses at ONU. Some of this work has resulted in previouspublications5,6. The first of these courses, Freshman Engineering 1, includes objectives related totechnical communication and exposing students to the engineering profession.As the model of a Scholar/Teacher was being discussed at the 2006 ASEE National ConferencePlenary Session2, Dr. Sheri Sheppard stated that the

Self-efficacy is known todevelop through repeated successes, where the negative impact of failures is diminished by thesesuccesses [18], [28] - [30]. Studies comparing the self-efficacy of females and males found that,females are more likely to derive self-efficacy from verbal reinforcement, strong social networks,mentors, and other positive social influences, whereas males have been shown to derive self-efficacy through the mastery of a task [14]. Research that focused on self-efficacy of female andmale students revealed that female students had higher self-efficacy than males in areas wherethere was support and mentorship [10], [18].

Lifelong learning is a goal of higher education and thepotential of the inverted classroom approach to improve lifelong learning makes it desirable.

However, manystudents struggle with basic mechanical components and fasteners, often failing to identifystandard parts on sight. This lack of foundational knowledge, in conjunction with suboptimalproject management habits, often results in over-reliance on adhesives. This is particularlyproblematic in situations where adhesives are used inappropriately—such as gluing gears toround shafts

In future self-reported surveys, researchers will include an option for students engaged in part-time constructionwork. Notably though, most of the students who indicated no experience in the constructionindustry were freshmen.

High school peers’ influence is also found to be agood predictor for successfully graduating with a STEM degree (Leslie, et. al., 1998). Friend’s encouragementplays an important role not only in a student’s college enrollment decision, but also in the retention decision(Bean, 1983). After entering into university, positive peer influence leads to successful education outcomecomes from opportunities like participating in honors program, tutoring other students, living on campus (Leslie,et. al., 1998). On the contrary, lack of student community on campus is found to have negative impact onstudents’ retention (Buyer & Connolly, 2006).Adult

], [2], [4]. There are also cultural constraints on rural students that may impact theirdecision to pursue and their transition into higher education. Education is not identified as a toppriority for most adults in rural communities, resulting in a lack of mentorship and role modelsfor students. Many parents in rural areas have not attended college themselves, and thereforethey are less likely to encourage their children to attend college. It has also been noted, manyrural Americans tend to be committed to their communities and have little desire to leave theirhometowns.
