teachers indicated that they knew at least one of theirstudents was considering studying engineering in college. Teachers’ responses to the 27 items Page 22.1552.14on the survey that measure attitudes toward engineering averaged 4.2 before the summer beganwith a small increase to 4.4 by the end of the summer. Once school started all 13 teachers agreed“If a student excels in mathematics and\or science, I suggest engineering as a possible career.”Engineering Preparation Self-efficacy: Before their research experience began, most teacherswere not very well informed about how to help prepare their students to consider engineering asa possible career

procedural fluency and enumerates three new attributes– conceptual understanding,strategic competence, and adaptive reasoning—that constitute conceptual depth in our math-computation proficiency framework (see Figure 4). Together, they can enable students todevelop productive disposition, an affective trait related to self-efficacy resulting from acombination of fluency at applying standard computational techniques with a deep understandingof how and why they can be applied.Stigler and Hiebert32 characterized current U.S. teaching as “learning terms and practicingprocedures”, as opposed to Japanese teaching’s “structured problem solving.” Ma’s study ofU.S. and Chinese elementary math teaching26 observed related phenomena.

that constitute a gap once freshmen –who had high-self efficacy beliefs in highschool-- enter engineering to face a rigorous math and science program and leave engineeringdue to attrition or beliefs of lack of adequacy for the career. Our objective with this research is to search what are the deficiencies in HS preparationto identify improvement opportunities so that to enhance the college experience of our studentsand improve attrition. In the next section we will review the main factors that appear in the literature as criticalfor freshmen success and subsequent retention.II- LITERATURE REVIEWA.

DIPLOMATS are researching, designing, and constructing a Michigan Natural Green Spot, consisting of a variety of floral plants, vegetables, and shrubs along with a pathway in an 80 x 130 foot area on the school’s campus. It will provide an educational space for the students and a place for the community to visit. • Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Competition: Utica Community Schools students participated in the annual MATE (Marine Advanced Technology Education) Underwater ROV competition. Preparation for this starts early in the school year and extends beyond the end of the year into the summer months. In 2009, the Utica team

The preservice teachers’involvement significantly increased the extent to which hands-on, inquiry-based instruction inscience occurred in the classroom, increasing measures of children’s learning of and enjoymentof science as compared to a non-co-taught control group. These positive student outcomes maybe attributed in part, suggested the authors, “to enhanced [classroom] teacher confidence ininvestigative science and technology teaching as a result of their work with the science specialiststudents.” 20Context & Participants The 36 teachers involved in the present study—including 15 3rd grade

The plan developed for this partnershipemploys short-term and long-term surveys, anecdotal questions, participant and student tracking,and performance measurement. In addition, joint assessment strategies focus on evaluating theexperiences of all participating individuals as well as the operational effectiveness of theprogram. For the first year, partners are evaluating YPSD secondary students’, FacultyAffiliates’, and Teaching Fellows’ experiences in learning, teaching, and mentoring. Over time,the annual
