项目摘要

Nationally, there is increasing interest in broadening the participation of minority males in engineering and other STEM-related fields. Compared to White and Asian males, many minority males are underrepresented in engineering. Throughout the theoretical and scientific literature, there is a dearth of research focused on minority males in engineering, especially on Black male students who have participated in engineering or other STEM-related mentoring programs and experiences. There are also very little scientific and popular literature that examines, specifically, how such programs may impact Black male middle school-aged students' academic and career interest in engineering. This research project is both timely and important to the National Science Foundation as well as other U. S. governmental agencies that are working to diversify the engineering workforce throughout the country.Comprising quantitative and qualitative research methods,investigators from Bowie State University and Morgan State University outlined a comprehensive exploratory, mixed-method study that aims to pinpoint the different factors that shape Black middle school-aged students' interest in engineering and determine what specific experiences actually influence their understanding of engineering and other STEM-related fields. It is quite likely that the research findings will offer important insights on middle school-aged, Black males and how engineering and other STEM-related programs and experiences can influence their academic interests and career aspirations. Further, secondary and postsecondary professionals will be able to use the project findings to improve formal and informal engineering and other STEM-related learning experiences for Black middle school-aged students.

在全国范围内，人们越来越有兴趣扩大少数民族男性在工程和其他STEM相关领域的参与。与白色和亚洲男性相比，许多少数民族男性在工程领域的代表性不足。在整个理论和科学文献中，缺乏对工程领域少数民族男性的研究，特别是对参加过工程或其他STEM相关辅导计划和经验的黑人男性学生的研究。也有很少的科学和流行的文献，检查，具体来说，这些程序可能会影响黑人男性中学生的学术和职业兴趣的工程。这项研究项目对美国国家科学基金会和其他美国科学家来说既及时又重要。S.政府机构正在努力使全国的工程劳动力多样化。包括定量和定性研究方法，来自鲍伊州立大学和摩根州立大学的调查人员概述了一个全面的探索性，混合方法研究，旨在查明塑造黑人中学的不同因素-这些研究旨在评估老年学生对工程的兴趣，并确定哪些具体经历实际上影响了他们对工程和其他STEM相关领域的理解。很可能，研究结果将提供重要的见解，对中学年龄，黑人男性，以及工程和其他干相关的程序和经验如何可以影响他们的学术兴趣和职业抱负。此外，中学和中学后的专业人士将能够利用项目的研究结果，以改善正式和非正式的工程和其他干相关的学习经验，为黑人中学生。
