, this may be attributed to the small sample size. There are not an abnormalnumber of survey respondents coming from private grade schools. There appears to be somedifferentiation from the NCES statistic, as respondents reply to the type of high school theyattended. Most of the responding students reported attending public high schools in suburban orurban areas.Studies focused on medical programs often report the impact community and social environmenthas on that career choice. The researchers asked questions about community support to assess theimpact these groups/individuals have on students choosing STEM or engineering technology as acareer.

Because these findings cut acrossgender, race, and ethnicity, the research suggests that credit bearing internships have thepotential to broaden participation in technology careers. Despite their effectiveness, however,very few students who enrolled in a technology program participated. This is mainly becausemost students leave college before earning enough credit to participate in an internship for credit.For those who completed a degree, they were not likely to participate in an internship unless itwas required for graduation.Paper I.

Informal learning experiences offerlow-stakes assessments and a greater variety of topics to explore (school curricula tends to focusnarrowly on math and literacy due to testing policies). They have also been shown to moredeeply engage participants, better encourage direct interaction with real-world phenomena, andbuild on prior knowledge and interests5.Designed to spark children’s interest, raise awareness about careers, and provide opportunities toengage in hands-on activities, informal engineering experiences range from single-exposureactivities like museum visits to

As such, solving them willrequire engineers who combine both technical training and other skills (e.g., ability to work ingroups, communication, etc.).2 Such complementary skills are often difficult to develop in thecourse of traditional engineering education, which often presents technical problems in abstractand stylized form without connection to real-world applications.

There was a small difference in the mean scores between thecooperative learning section (M = 63.33) and the individualistic learning section (M = 66.60).Even though previous evaluations of cooperative learning studies (Johnson & Johnson, 1989;Slavin, 1983) have shown large effect sizes to be common, this study produced only a small one(Effect Size = .01).
