Unfortunately, only around 16% of high school seniors are bothproficient in math and interested in STEM fields [4]. Only 17% of bachelor’s degrees awarded toU.S. citizens are in STEM fields [5], and roughly 30% of chemistry and physics teachers in U.S.public high schools did not major in these fields and

. Theevolution of learning technologies empowers the attainment of this goal more so today than inthe recent past. A further motivation is developing a model that can potentially impact the lack ofdiversity in the engineering profession. The demographic of community college students showsconsiderably more diversity than the engineering profession [11] and the new program makes anengineering education more accessible to community college students.The engineering development phase (EDP) takes place during the first semester for a cohort inthe Bell Program. That was the fall semester for Cohorts 1, 2, and 4 and the spring semester forCohort 3. There are many aspects to describing the model; relevant aspects to this researchpaper are described in the
