The Project CARE strategy of the solution of theidentified problem is based on four fundamental premises: (1) enrichment of the Academic PerformanceImprovement (API) skills - critical thinking, analytical reasoning, quantitative literacy, and problem solving skillswill minimize the barriers that hinder students’ performance and attraction to STEM careers, (2
