In Boston, NortheasternUniversity and Boston Public Schools partnered to integrate a robotics curriculum into BostonPublic Schools13. In Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania and the School District ofPhiladelphia established a similar partnership to increase student performance in roboticscompetitions14. None of these robotics programs though were geared only toward students ofcolor and this shortcoming may be critical-- studies have shown that role models and a sense ofcommunity are key for success of minority students15, 16

Students usually have varied course loadsand different priorities due to family, financial needs or other responsibilities. Therefore, there isa need for an individualized approach to advising. The school’s administration faces challengesscheduling courses and allocating diminishing resources to satisfy student demand. In addition,faculty needs to assess the efficacy of their curriculum in a program, and collecting longitudinalstudent data is difficult.

In general changes to pedagogy and curriculum have not yielded an increase in thenumber or diversity of students entering the quantitative disciplines (Jolly et al, 2004).Using the 2011-2013 data as a baseline, the decision was made to help underpreparedengineering students improve their math achievement outcomes by modifying thecurriculum to test an applied mathematics course for engineers adapted from Wright StateUniversity’s NSF funded ENG101 applied math course. Freshmen and transfer students(N=507) entering in Fall 2014 and Fall 2015 included 84% freshmen, 16% transfers, 21%women, and 14% ethnic minorities. While 86% of students reported very strong

The STEM Scholars Pro-gram aims to increase the number of African-Americans in STEM fields by preparing high schoolstudents for the STEM college curriculum. Many first-time students enter college without any background knowledge in their chosenSTEM major. This lack of exposure puts them at a disadvantage, as they are learning coursematerial concurrently with basic STEM-related skills, such as computing and algorithmic think-ing. This program aims to train high school students in these skills to increase their interest andaptitude in STEM fields. As a result of this effort, students will be more prepared for STEM majorsand be more attractive to STEM programs. STEM Scholars is an academic year

Therefore, the curriculum ofengineering education must match the needs to resolve real-world sophisticated and authenticproblems. Moreover, the curriculum of engineering education needs to cultivate students’capability not only of deep perspective to a particular problem but also divergent thinking.This view is supported by the theory of Conceptual Learning and Development (CLD), whichsuggests that taught theoretical concepts should be linked to related engineering problems 2.With the rapid change in the structure of the competitive market, those talents who arecapable of embarking on independent design and skillful in innovation

has proven to be effective. A study conducted on Alaskan Yupik tribe students, which integrated the tribe’s culture with standardized curriculum. The results were Yupik students in the program learned math quicker, retained more information, and enjoyed math more than Yupik students who were not in the program [22]. Students saw greater academic success when their teachers exhibited a strong belief in the students learning ability, provided the curriculum in context to each student's lives, and established caring relationships with students. At times it is best that students teach their teachers on how to best teach them.

However, in order to achieve the desiredoutcomes of the new course, innovative teaching strategies needed to be implemented within thecontext of a more “real world” experience. In addition, a pedagogy that enhances theentrepreneurial mindset and is designed for maximum student engagement and retention wasdesired.
