- Abstract
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education (STEM) has recently gained national attention from educators, political figures, and the media, each highlighting the popular contention that the United States is not attracting students into STEM degree programs and career pathways (National Governors Association, 2007; President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, 2010). Despite recent efforts to increase female representation in STEM fields, women are generally less inclined to be engaged in integrated STEM education programs or individual STEM disciplines (Davis, 2014; Smith, Lewis, Hawthorne, & Hodges, 2013).
