This is a two-year program covering courses in rigorous Math andprogramming, as well as courses entailing soft skills such as visual storytelling and consultingskills.One of the challenges for faculty on the admission committee in the past few years has beenselecting the best criteria for student admission. Typically, in engineering disciplines theadmission decision is based on students’ performance on courses such as calculus, physics andpre-engineering topics [1]. However, due to the nature of Data Science field the applicants comefrom very diverse undergraduate programs. For instance, some of our top graduating students hadan undergraduate degree in Creative Writing or Healthcare. We have

thisformative feedback will have a higher educational value than the summative feedback that isprovided by commercial tools only after the user attempts to “run” the simulation case [18]. Thefeedback messages will provide the answer to the three major questions identified in [18]: “wheream I going?” (feed up), “how am I going?” (feed back), and “where to next?” (feed forward). AsFig. 2 shows, a feedback message will describe (i) the issue, (ii) the cause of the issue, and (iii)the suggested solution. In line with scaffolding theory [19]–[21], we aim to maintain a balance increating this tool: we want to assist students to master problem solving, but we do not want themto be so dependent on the scaffold that they cannot transition to independent

aswell as individualized instruction tailored to academic needs.IntroductionMany minority engineering students struggle in college because of their weakness in problemsolving. This is generally due to the students' lack of conceptual understanding and difficulty inapplying their mathematical knowledge while solving engineering problems2,3. Additionally,professors often assume that problem-solving ability naturally increases by mastering specificdomain concepts as well as mastering relevant problem-solving heuristics and processes, andultimately learning to put these concepts and processes together to solve problems. Our research4suggests that, for underprepared students, learning conceptual knowledge can best be achievedthrough practicing

Further, courses taken in preparation for a STEM degree are typically not “sufficiently challenging.”4 STARS helps students ‘learn how to learn’ and recognize the importance of mastering the fundamental aspects of math, chemistry, and physics to be successful in pursuing engineering.
