An integrated design approach [11] was adoptedin which faculty, staff, upperclassmen and industry partners collaborated on the design,development, delivery, and assessment of program contents. The strength of the program stemsfrom the diversity and adaptability of its content. The various types of program activities worktogether to provide many safety nets [12] that serve the dynamic

In particular, studying teachers and school counselors’ beliefsabout engineering is vital as they work on the front line in engaging with and conveyingknowledge to students. This knowledge can influence how students perceive and believeengineering, and eventually students’ decisions whether to pursue engineering or not [6]. Therefore, in this study, we argue that because 1) K-12 engineering education hasbecome essential in the quest of improving engineering education in the US, 2) understanding K-12 actors
