. IntroductionNative Americans are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).Despite comprising nearly 2.9% of the population (United States Census, 2020), they represent only0.25% of all engineering bachelor's degree recipients, 0.3% of the U.S. engineering workforce, and 0.07%of all engineering faculty [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Various barriers may contribute to this underrepresentation,including limited access to quality STEM education, lack of role models, and socioeconomic challenges[6, 7, 8].NTU engineering faculty have also observed that students from local school districts entering engineeringprograms are often ill-equipped for engineering education. Engineering requires deep learning supportedby critical thinking and self
