STEM Career Interest Survey (STEM-CIS)

Description

The STEM Career Interest Survey (STEM-CIS) measures interest in STEM classes and careers, particularly in middle school students.  Leveraging social cognitive career theory, the STEM-CIS contains four subscales: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The STEM-CIS is a 44-item survey that uses a 5-point Likert scale.
