Thus, math preparedness has a criticalcorrelation of success in graduating with an engineering degree, particularly for diverse andunderserved populations.Newman [4] discussed moving from remediation classes, especially in mathematics, to a co-requisite model of education and highlighted that the assumption that all high school students areprepared for college-level work is incorrect.

, and as such we are heartened by these findings. Implementing this new first yearprogram was an enormous, complex task. The general results showed that students gainedvaluable skills and a strong sense of belonging in our College. Students’ praise for each other,their instructors, the undergraduate learning assistants, and the graduate teaching assistants wasparticularly satisfying, because it matched our student-centered priorities, and our framingassumptions that the best learning and engineering happens in healthy communities.

The project is driven by the Engineering Mindset Learning model where students chase their curiosity and pursue their entrepreneurial goals. Weekly laboratory instructions, manuals, and video presentations are made available to the students. Teams are formed depending on the class sizes.
