As a not-for-profit corporation established in 1984, the FEF has providedan avenue to ensure that educational advancement is possible. The impact of the FEF'sinnovative programs and non-traditional approach to enhancing educational outcomes has beendemonstrated across various educational levels, through its highly acclaimed programs. One suchprogram is the Center of Excellence, which houses several pre-collegiate programs1.Established in 1985, the Center of Excellence, under the leadership of Lyra Logan, is acommunity-based

This approach is not limited to predictive capabilities, as seen in traditionalmachine learning models; it also enables us to engage in objective “what-if” analyses. These anal-yses delve into counterfactual reasoning, allowing us to explore hypothetical scenarios and theirpotential impacts on student outcomes. We aim to utilize this model to better understand the causalrelationships between curriculum complexity and student performance metrics. By doing so, weaim to contribute a novel perspective to educational research discourse, offering theoretical insightsand practical implications for curriculum design and student success strategies.

innovating the MOOC so that learners can have a morepersonalized learning experience.Recognizing the intention of these learners at the time of enrollment was to apply informationfrom the MOOC, there are implications for instructional design of advanced engineeringMOOCs. For example, instructors may want to consider how well they fully bridge the gapfrom conceptual understanding to practical use of information. This may include using real-world contexts in teaching materials and providing resources for later application of courseconcepts. Also considering a large group of learners indicated a desire to achieve a high grade,together, these findings suggest that there may be an opportunity to work with industrialorganizations to offer professional
