by the tight confines of the undergraduatecurriculum, this isolation results in the perception that the content of such courses are a skill-setwith limited applicability. Second, it means that students are generally unprepared for thechallenges of software engineering learning activities when first encountered. With mostintroductory software engineering courses applying experiential learning and couching learningactivities in the context of a team-based project, the challenge of mastering course content iscomplicated by what is, for most students, their first significant experience with teaming and thedifficulties of managing not just their own work but also the work of their teammates.These challenges motivate the need for better

These graduates havediscovered that the traditional institutions offer a wider variety of graduate programs and in somecases a higher status that is associated with attending a better-known institution. In addition, thetraditional institutions often offer the HBCU students attractive scholarship packages. 3Nationally, there are 3,706 colleges and universities .

. After they have mastered one experiment, they can go onand try other experiments. The students are free to select what months they want to come, andwhat experiments that they want to work on. There is a limit of 4 students per experiment. If theexperiment a student wants has reached its limit, that student may still do the experiment, butthey won’t be asked to help to do the experiment for another class. They can, however, sign upfor a different experiment. This way the students are encouraged to try different experiments,and not all of the interns learn just one experiment.When a teacher requests interns for their class, the science intern coordinator discusses theexperiments that the teacher wants with that teacher, and then selects interns

Mastery GradingThe mastery grading scheme is structured around clearly defined learning targets, derived fromBloom's Taxonomy. For the Calculus I course in this study, we had 26 learning targets and 10 ofwhich were designated as core learning targets. Class sessions involve pre-class preparation,collaborative problem-solving during class, and post-class online homework. Instead oftraditional exams, weekly checkpoints assess individual learning targets, each consisting of oneproblem (with multiple parts). Students receive marks of "mastered" or "progressing" based ontheir understanding. Students will have the opportunity to reattempt each learning target in thesubsequent three checkpoints. A learning target is considered completed when students
