these skills during introductory coursework must “catch up” in later courses,where the technical content is more challenging. We hypothesize this can lead to unpreparednessfor challenging content or careers as an engineer and can negatively impact academic standing,leading to decreased retention. Thus, the goals of this work were to 1) improve retention rates forfirst-year engineering students, specifically mechanical engineering, and 2) improvecomputational and software skills of first-year students, specifically MATLAB and MicrosoftExcel.MATLAB is a common computational package which can be used for a broad range ofengineering problems throughout a curriculum [2].

However, “not enough STEM graduates means not enough STEM teachers,regardless of incentives [8].” An alternative is to expose students to STEM fields early and induce them tochoose STEM careers. For example, 65% of scientists with advanced degrees developed their scienceinterest before middle school [9].

are aprimary factor inhibiting gender parity (De Cohen 2009). In other words, the problem beginslong before women students enter university.Numerous theories help explain women’s decision not to enroll in engineering. Supply sidetheories assume a mismatch between women’s perceptions of the field and their ability toachieve their life goals (Ceci, Williams, and Barnett 2009). In particular, women may come tothe conclusion that a highly demanding engineering career would be too constraining on theirability to birth and raise children—a perception that may be exacerbated in national contextswhere public childcare systems have not been developed.
