AbstractThis paper explores what elements and concepts should be included in a pre-college, widelyavailable digital course designed to better guide, inform, and prepare high school studentsinterested in pursuing a career in engineering. The purpose of the course is to provide a digitaltool for exploration by high school students and their advising network as they seek to gain abetter understanding of what an engineering education and career entails. As the investigationhas progressed, the potential benefit of developing separate courses for “guide and inform” and“prepare” is appearing. This paper will focus on the development of the comprehensive coursewith the understanding that there is potential for a separation by themes tuned to

helpthemselves to feel more motivated, to cope with their stress, and to thrive in the college setting.A major focus of our program is encouraging students to develop a growth mindset rather than afixed mindset.28 We feel this motivational aspect is especially important for engineering studentsto understand and integrate into their learning given their prior experiences in academic settings.Most of these students have been highly successful throughout their educational careers, and theyoften believe this success comes from their innate superior intelligence rather than from their hardwork, use of effective strategies, and support from their family, peers, and teachers. Then, whenthey struggle or even fail for the first time in their college Engineering

]. Research-based teaching practices. (RBTPs)encompass a long list of instructional practices that have been shown through research to be effectivein improving student achievement, engagement and persistence in STEM fields. These RBTPs include“the use of cooperative learning; problem-based learning; peer-led team learning; process-oriented,guided inquiry learning; and project-based learning over lecture-based teaching” [15]. Endeavors tofind solutions to complex societal problems often require collaboration between industry andacademia. This can be further formalized and integrated into the engineering classroom to providenew ideas for industry, incubate entrepreneurial interests in students, and provide a guaranteedpathway to an engineering career
