Abstract

This research was part of the first year of a National Science Foundation funded project aimed at promoting high school students’ interest in green energy, robotics, automation and post-secondary engineering and technology study. High school teachers, undergraduate majors in STEM areas, and community based non-profit organizations were involved in this afterschool engineering program for high school students with the goal of broadening participation among minoritized groups in engineering and engineering technology. This study investigated how these different stakeholders’ views aligned and diverged about (1) the characteristics of STEM engagement, and (2) the factors that influence the development of engineering identities. The purpose of this investigation was to uncover the relationships between community members’ viewpoints, community assets, and the positionality of the project personnel.
