, teachers must firstlearn to think in new ways about the students, content, and the teaching and learning process[23], [24], [25]. Teachers' beliefs about whether they have the knowledge, skills, and resourcesfor students to implement design challenges successfully are essential to the success of theengineering design curriculum [31].Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK)Teachers’ PCK also impacts teacher practices in the classroom. PCK emphasizes three aspects:content, pedagogy, and students. It involves a focus on a specific subject matter concerningstudent learning, curriculum, and effective strategies to employ for teaching [25].

Furthermore, many universitieshave implemented a variety of programs that employ high impact retention approaches,including advising, mentoring, active learning, student engagement, and other support services.[10-14]. While there are many causes that result in low graduation rates, it is more likely thatrates could be improved if students are well-prepared for college and have clear future careergoals.
