The first challenge is that of foundational mathematics and scienceand the critical time frame for the first challenge is that of between 4th and 6th grades. Thesecond challenge is that of instilling a self motivated work ethic towards learning and the criticaltime frame is ideally 9th grade but no later than the beginning of the 11th grade. The thirdchallenge is that of financial accountability and the critical time frame is from freshman throughsophomore years at the undergraduate level.

Collectively, these activities will not only enhance students‟ understanding of theconcepts and improve their problem solving skills in chemistry, but it will also teach studentshow best to study the sciences, integrate concepts, and learn scientific thinking.Genetics and ethics are both logic-based disciplines uniquely integrated in the day-to-day workof genetic researchers. Given the history of the eugenics movement, it is imperative that ethics isintegrated into introductory genetics courses as a core part of a whole rather than an afterthoughtor add on.

Also, will the results hold inother areas of the FE Exam, for example, problems in ethics or engineering economics, in whichthe vocabulary may be more difficult to comprehend and problem statements are usually longerin length?
