Rursch is currently is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Iowa State University. She will graduate with a degree in computer engineering with a focus on secure computing. Her research includes a unique approach to critical infrastructure modeling which provides emergency planners and first responders with resilient and flexible critical infrastructure evaluation in the face of non-recurrent, disruptive events. Her approach creates a new paradigm for modeling critical
oftheir designs. Page 23.876.3The studio model places emphasis on: (a) a content-rich curriculum that links youth to theirenvironment, (b) support and scaffolded discussions with mentors (site leaders and facilitators),and (c) an online network that supports the creation and maintenance of relationships amongprogram participants. The informal character of this program allows youth the freedom toexplore and self-identify with STEM topics.MethodParticipantsYouth in three after-school programs at middle schools in a rural, impoverished, mountainousregion of a mid-Atlantic state were asked to participate in the project.

relatives. At the second school, students were in a French Immersion program(B). Many had professional parents.The research project involved three classroom visits conducted in January 2011. In the first brief Page 22.685.2visit of approximately 15 minutes, researchers conducted pre-assessments of students’conceptions of engineers by having the students write and draw pictures of how they understoodfour careers (teacher, doctor, accountant and engineer) and then match a series of descriptors(including words such as caring, works with others etc.) to each career.Discussion of Pre-assessments: Stereotypes about CareersThe pre-assessment activity
Group 1) had not been exposed to engineering through reading and discussion of Engineering Elephants or through any other means within the classroom setting. The second group (identified as Group 2) had been exposed only through the reading and class discussion of Engineering Elephants. The final group of students (identified as Group 3) participated in a program which included reading and discussion of Engineering Elephants in combination with hands-on experiments and field trips.Results Page 22.962.5Figures 2-4 show representative illustrations from all groups.A B
