This study is focused on the impact of curricular and extra curricular engineering-based instructional activities on middle students' perceptions of their ability to become engineers. Middle school students are at an age where high interest activities are essential for motivation and relevant learning. This is also the age where students' interest can be piqued to consider careers in STEM fields. This study also looks at math content knowledge, attitudes toward math and science, and perceptions of technology, engineering, and what defines engineering.
