The Career Academy as a Vehicle to Promote Black Male Student Interest in STEM College and Career Pathways
Edward C. Fletcher Jr.; Erik M. Hines; Donna Y. Ford; James L. Moore III
Advances in Race and Ethnicity in Education
The purpose of this study was to examine the learning experiences of high school Black males participating in an academy of engineering that was configured as a magnet school. We followed a qualitative case study design to explore the experiences of 16 Black male academies of engineering students. We identified three recurring themes from the interviews with the Black male academy of engineering students: "Promoting Interests in STEM," "Drawing Connections to Core Academic Concepts," and "An Affinity for Hands-on Learning through the Engineering Curriculum." The results of our study helped us to better understand how academies provide a platform for Black male students' interest in engineering as a viable college and career pathway.
