, and pre-engineering university students (those who are required totake foundational courses before being admitted to an engineering program) may not have accessto someone who is able to clearly articulate how applications of early science and math coursesconnect to engineering careers. For many students interested in pursuing engineering, the “why”of the course is important. When students fail to see the connection between the material they arelearning and their career interest, they may lack motivation to learn the material, thus hinderingtheir performance in future engineering curriculums, or they may choose not to pursueengineering altogether, thus contributing to the “leaky pipeline” in STEM. Therefore, it isessential to support students

courses that include students with a wide range of prior exposure toengineering. The design projects engage students with a tentative interest in engineering and limited priorhands-on experience, while also challenging the skills and creativity of those students already committedto an engineering career. This workshop will allow participants to learn about and carry out some of thesehands-on projects for themselves. At the workshop, participants will be provided with materials that theycan take with them back to their home institutions.The efforts to increase diversity in engineering have resulted in a challenge for introduction toengineering classes of supporting students with a wide range of prior exposure and degree of interest inengineering

ideal for both 1) first year (success) classes and 2) facultyteaching any discipline related class.Faculty who desire to provide student with methods to improve performance in their class will findthese LC—HI methods both effective and efficient. From a faculty perspective they are intuitive,very easy to implement, require little time to introduce, create opportunity for studentaccountability, will not detract from time on topical material, and a high percentage of studentswill use them.References[1] W.

Each student will prepare and upload a reflective essay documenting theirprofessional career aspirations and its relationship to the college education.Collaborative Courses: These are intended to support learning in Calculus and Physics, thehistoric 'weed-out' courses for engineers and are attended by all selected Bridge students. TheSCLC courses meet twice a week for 2 hours in addition to the regular Calculus or Physicscourse
