Future expansion plans of this pilot project are also presented.1. IntroductionThe engineering community in many nations across the world is struggling to attract and retainstudents. This is a concern because a lack of qualified engineers in society creates long-termstructural inabilities to address the challenges both developed and developing societies arefacing.1, 2 Research has shown that exposure to engineering and engineering concepts at the K
