(PjBL), engineering, and culturally relevant curriculum that fit the specific needs of the studentsthey serve.To ensure the alignment of the independent RET program's goals and the NSF's objectives, variousuniversity RET programs have utilized evaluation methods that capture short-term data such as theprogram's impact on the teacher or lesson plan implementation with diverse populations. This paperinvestigates the connection between our RET program and long-term female and minority studentachievement in the forms of high school graduation rates and undergraduate STEM major selectionrates using a state agency K-12 and higher education database. As a comparison, state agency datafrom students of nonRET teachers within the same schools and grade

evaluate main project and Quick- 1Build submissions, we developed a rubric with categories spanning the steps in the engineeringdesign process. Accuracy, reliability, and ease of implementation were considered when designingthe rubric.Compared to other high school engineering programs that offer sequential engineering courses,our proposed curriculum is unique in that it offers students an opportunity to learn about differentengineering disciplines, teamwork, time management, project management, planning, execution,and evaluation via a project-based learning environment [12-13]. During the semester, studentssimultaneously work on long term and short
