Abstract: A purposeful sample of 132 high school seniors predominately Hispanic/Latino completed a descriptive questionnaire to assess their course grade expectations, whether they had completed AP courses, and their attitudes toward technology. Findings indicated a greater percentage of males expected to do well in mathematics and science courses in comparison to their female classmates; the higher the STEM self-efficacy, the greater the expectation to perform well in the course; AP course completion had an influence on STEM self-efficacy; and a larger percentage of males than females were more likely to agree that designing products or structures would be important for their future work and they could be successful in a career in technology.
