  3. Background to the Project

  4. Review of the Literature • Enrollment in STEM career programs, such as engineering, is in decline while the anticipated demand for these skills is on the rise(Archer et al., 2012; Long et al., 2010; Let’s Talk Science, 2010; Riegle-Crumb, Moore, & Ramos-Wada, 2011; Prism Economics & Analysis, 2012) • Youths’ attitudes towards engineering are more favourable when they have a more accurate conception of the engineering profession (Karatas, Micklos, & Bodner, 2008; Lyons & Carolina, 2011) • The ideal context for success includes a teacher who understands the engineering design and problem-solving process (Becker & Park, 2011; Herschbach, 2011; Mativo, 2011) • Further research is needed to explore the impact of K-12 intervention programs
