Engineering and Computing (SPECTRA) program is an NSFScholarship in STEM (S-STEM)(Award # 1834081) based out of Clemson University in SouthCarolina. The SPECTRA program focuses on aiding transfer students interested in anEngineering or Computing degree by offering scholarships, opportunity to form cohorts, andaccess to professional skill-building programs. The goals of SPECTRA are as follows: (1) to provide scholarship opportunities to low-income students who wish to pursue engineering or computing at Clemson (2) to build cohorts of transfer students to support their transition into Clemson while also allowing for the Advisors for Cohorted Engineers (ACE) Fellows program to aid in the

It would be verydifficult to ask students to predict their peak loads based on calculations given the highlyindeterminate designs. The third potential enhancement is to conduct formal assessment focusedon the students’ interest, understanding, and attitudes about STEM careers. One possible surveyto use is the Student Attitudes toward STEM (S-STEM) survey [28].Acknowledgements The authors would like to thank Ms. Amy Preis, Ms. Sue Ratz, Ms. Rachel Rimmerman,and Mr. Darren Green for their assistance in organizing and hosting the competition for the pastseveral years.

+C units. The units included designing and testing a movingobject, creating sculptures with circuitry, and developing an ecosystem video game. Theyassessed the students’ engagement and attitudes towards STEM+C. Paired T-tests revealedsignificant positive increases in girls’ attitudes toward mathematics and science. Significantincreases were also observed in all students’ attitudes toward science. S-STEM results indicatedthat students’ perceptions of their math and science performance increased. Students also gainedan understanding of STEM+C careers with the largest gains in girls’ knowledge of scientists andcomputer scientists. Findings also revealed that students reported very high to high levels ofaffective and overall engagement.Lin

Although many studies highlight the development of STEM concepts andskills, more research is needed to understand how to support this development through caregiver-child interactions at home. This study aims to (a) investigate caregiver-child interactions thatsupport the development of child(ren)’s STEM conceptualizations and skills in engineeringdesign challenge activities within family pedagogical practices, and (b) examine caregivers’pedagogical expectations within family pedagogy. Guided by Vygotsky’s cultural-historicalview, the authors analyze child(ren)’s development of STEM conceptualizations
