Forinstance, students involved in the program are likely to pursue a STEM-focused degree aftercompleting high-school, and are more likely to persist until degree completion than students whocomplete a more traditional K-12 experience (Bottoms & Uhn, 2007; Gottfried & Plasman,2018; Lee et al., 2019; Rethwisch et al., 2012; Robbins et al., 2014; Sorge, 2014; Starobin et al.,2013; Van Overschelde, 2013).Prior empirical investigations from the qualitative perspective have provided convergingevidence that the primary barriers to PLTW implementation are costs associated with
