摘要

Efforts to spark interest in engineering among PreK-12 students have increased substantially in recent years both to expand the number of engineers generally and to increase the diversity of the field. While many efforts seek to spark and develop student interest in engineering, past research has demonstrated that interest is not always sufficient to help students pursue engineering majors, particularly for rural students. In many rural communities, influential adults (family, friends, teachers) often provide the primary support for engineering as a career choice, while factors such as lack of role models, lack of social and cultural capital, and limited course availability may all act as potential inhibitors. Collectively, such work suggests that current models of career choice that posit interest as the primary driver do not adequately account for the contextual factors that shape rural students' choices. Far less work has sought to explore communities more holistically to understand why and how key influencers choose to support or promote engineering as a career choice among rural students.
