Unfortunately, thesefactors are difficult to reconcile as high-quality pre-college engineering programs such asengineering career and technical education (E-CTE) exist in schools with low populations ofminorities, English-language learners (ELLs), and students that qualify for free-and-reduced lunches[2]. Or, if a program does exist, such as Project Lead the Way, it draws from students that arealready in the top percentage of their class [3] or requires an investment in specialized equipment,teacher training, and/ or curriculum cost [4].
