We teach technical topics in deep learning using applied research projects toreal-world healthcare datasets (such as tumor growth, cancer, and more). Other than teachingtechnical skills, the program was also aimed to enable students to produce novel contributions tothe domain of diagnostic artificial intelligence. The program required students to present their re-search projects in a capstone seminar and submit a research report similar to a conference paper.To accomplish these goals, discussions on research practices and academic communication wereincluded in the course design, facilitated by a dedicated communication TA for these aspects.The 5E approach used in course: The 5Es approach [24

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. Studies have shown, for example, that K-12 students who participate in STEM programsincrease their chances to succeed in STEM disciplines once they are in college.

Instead, research articles predominantly measured the impact of developingdesign practices (42%), followed by attitudes towards engineering (19%) and habits of mind(19%). If the goal of design activities is science learning, research is needed to understand theextent to which engineering education can meet this goal, as well as effective integrationstrategies. In addition, increased efforts are needed to overcome teachers' limited pedagogicaland content knowledge of engineering-based

Multiple researchers report from their findings that engineering can be theintegration vehicle for the STEM disciplines [13], resulting in improved student learning andmotivation. These benefits are not without challenges, however, and two of the most influentialfactors challenging science and engineering integration are #1) the lack of guidance for teacherson how to integrate the subjects[11], [13] and #2) the limited knowledge and experience base inengineering of K-12 teachers who, as a result, need scaffolding and support when preparing toteach concepts for their grade levels[1], [14].
