Despite ongoing efforts to improve science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) undergraduate persistence and success, the attrition ratesamong women and students in underrepresented minority groups have increased over the pastdecade. A recent report suggests that nearly half of college students starting in STEM majors leavethe STEM field before the fourth year of their degree program [13].

Students generate coursework motivation when they see the relevance to their careers.Coursework overload could have a negative effect on academic success, especially among first-year students, because they might develop overwhelming feelings. Also, faculty must be aware ofthe diverse background of E/CS students, which means that some students are less equipped tohandle overloaded coursework than others.Academic achievement is also a marker for persistence, admission, and further studies in agraduate school in an engineering major. Academic achievement is powered by a students'deliberate practice, willpower, interest, love of learning [11]. Over the recent years

(Chabalengulaet al., 2017). The grouping of engineering as part of STEM has essentially left the decision to teachengineering topics in pre-college setting up to science or technology teachers (Honey et al., 2014;NGSS Lead States, 2013).If engineering is offered as its own course, it is typically included under the Career and TechnicalEducation (CTE) electives (Lewis & Zuga, 2005). This option then leads to other challenges ofmeeting state CTE standards that tend to emphasize technology learning. The decision to lumpengineering in with these other disciplines is also closely tied to the difficulties associated withfinding teachers trained in engineering content areas. The majority of currently available pre-service teacher education does not cover

A key takeaway from the paper is our program is designed to intellectually stretch our students consistently by requiring coursework in some area the student has not been in before. We believe that our curricular design will develop students who are more nibble, less averse to ambiguity, and with a leaning to remaining a life long learner over their careers. This is an unproven

Everyone agrees that critical thinking is a desirable trait. However, it is difficult toexplain exactly what it is, and even more difficult to teach it.
