1	The Relevance of Career Aspirations for Transfer Students Persisting in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Disciplines Coyote, Ruthann Theresa January 2013 (has links) This qualitative study utilizes data acquired from interviews with 18 community college transfer students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) majors and 7 university staff people who work in direct student services with this student population. This study explores the experiences of transfer students in STEM majors regarding what influenced their college persistence, particularly the relevance of STEM career aspirations. Students report their experiences of social and academic integration after transfer; the phenomenon of transfer shock is also explored and incorporated. Institutional policies such as articulation agreements are considered. Implications for student services practice and future research are presented. community college Science Technology Engineering and Math STEM transfer students Higher Education career aspirations

4	An Investigation of the Impact Gender-Specific Course Grouping Has on Female Middle-School Students' Concept of and Interests Toward Technology and Engineering Walsh, Thomas Broderick 06 August 2021 (has links) Attempts to improve retention, interest, and enrollment of females in Technology & Engineering Education courses have included a variety of approaches including female-only classes. However, the implications of such courses have not been thoroughly investigated. Therefore, an investigation of female-only classes was undertaken; the findings revealed that the overall enrollment of females went up in the course and in subsequent classes, these students maintained their interests and attitudes towards Technology and Engineering, their perceptions of an engineer's gender changed from that of mostly male to mostly female, and their concepts of what an engineer does changed from mostly building or fixing things to that of mostly someone who designs. This study used two instruments: the Technology Engineering Attitude Survey (TEAS) and the Draw an Engineer Test (DAET). The population of the study was 7th grade middle school students. They were placed into two groups: the control being the mixed male female engineering and technology classes, and the treatment being the all-female students enrolled in the same engineering technology course. technology engineering female women girls male men boys technology engineering attitude survey teas draw an engineer test daet technology and engineering engineering and technology education technology and engineering education science technology engineering math stem science technology engineering art math steam non-traditional careers women in engineering k-12 middle School junior high public school utah usa industrial education vocational education stem education steam education teaching Engineering
