The modelshowed a statistically significant difference between groups with eighth-grades reporting scienceinterest to be 3.4 times more likely to earn a physical science or engineering degree (b = 1.23, SE= 0.24, p<0.001). These results highlight that early interest in science appears to be a statisticallysignificant predictor for persistence in a STEM pathway.A follow-up investigation in 2010 involved 116 scientists and science graduate students toexplore childhood experiences that may have impacted their persistence in STEM [8].

Research is to teach students to think likescientists and engineers through cutting-edge research projects. This program was established in2016 and currently (2022-23) supports 68 research students within the curriculum. Five scienceelectives (Engineering Design, Molecular Methods, Research I, Advanced Research and ThesisResearch) have been developed over the years to support breadth and depth in these topic areas.Entry into the program can occur as early as 10th grade year. Students entering the BR Programmust have successful completion or concurrent enrollment in Chemistry and earn a minimum ofa B; this requirement is based on the ability of the student to have a strong understanding ofmathematical concepts and the application of mathematical

engineers do. These questions were crafted as the authors had previously observed thatmiddle school students abandoned the idea of becoming an engineer either because of lack ofself-confidence in succeeding as an engineer or lack of understanding of what engineers do (e.g.,more than build bridges, make cars, and work at chemical plants). The survey began with a set ofLikert-type statements to determine students’ interest and self-efficacy in engineering with thechoices: yes, a lot; yes, a little bit; not sure; probably not; and no way (see Appendix B). Thenext question was open-ended and directed students to list as many types of engineering as theycould. The last question consisted of a list of 14 things and instructed students to answer
