Specifically, engineering students areexpected to build relevant skills through experiential learning opportunities [1]. However, formost high school students considering engineering in college, their preparation is typicallyadvanced placement courses in science and mathematics. Courses alone don’t meet theincreasing national demand to better prepare high school students for careers in technology andmanufacturing [2]. To bridge this gap, high school students may pursue the skills and qualitiesexpected of them in a university setting, which will enable

The seeminginconsistencies and conflicting evidence in rural education research may relate, in part, to theabsence of a clear and consistent definition for rural, as well as to the evident complexity anddiversity of rural contexts [1].
