To meet this projected demand, STEM professions must prioritize recruitment.Outreach initiatives are well-known recruitment tools that professionals in industry and academiacan implement to encourage student recruitment into STEM degree fields. While most outreachinitiatives typically focus on high school students, research shows that students’ career decisionsare influenced at a much earlier age. Therefore, it is necessary for industry and academia totarget an even younger demographic all the way to kindergarten and first grade. This paperhighlights different outreach initiatives developed in academia and industry to teach K-12students about STEM. The

Studentsfind that there often aren't clear "winners" of a debate, and that argument like this isdone as a process to achieve further understanding. This open-endedness can beperturbing for students who are as competitive and goal-oriented as most engineeringstudents can be. But some students have admitted to me afterward that during thecourse of researching and preparing for the debate, they changed their minds about theissue entirely. That might be a modest sign of success. The debate process can helpstudents understand what is at stake with some of the big questions that we see inscience and technology today, and it also offers them a model for problem solving andself discovery.

Variousmethods have emerged using prepared models, photographs, and pictorials to illustrate what thedrawing is meant to represent. Students typically work from these prepared examples in theproduction of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional drawings with little opportunity tocreate something new. The question arises if students really see what the drawings represent.Larger companies, such as Chrysler, are now sending design engineers out for real world designexperience on the shop floor before actually having them design cars.

The researchers that established self-conceptdefined it as the general perception of an individual regarding their standing in a specific domain[2, 3]. The construct, within its representative domains, was found to be multifaceted while alsobeing hierarchical, based on the exposure and experience of the individual [2, 3]. Along the linesof this characteristic, academic and non-academic facets of self-concept emerged, which wasfurther expanded to
