It is no surprise thatthese definitions, focusing on applications, processes, and products, are dominant in efforts toinfuse engineering into K-12 science education. The following quote from Next GenerationScience Standards [4], further justifies this claim: “It is important for students to explore the practical use of science, given that a singular focus on the core ideas of the disciplines would tend to shortchange the importance of applications... engineering and technology provide a context in which students can test their own developing scientific knowledge and apply it to practical problems; doing so

public schools comprising students with varying backgrounds,experiences, strengths, and needs, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)educators are key to integrating student interests with their lived experiences. In the currenttechnology-rich era, where every teenager has a phone glued to their hands, it has becomepertinent to design school-based educational activities that stimulate and build upon thoseinterests. Students’ motivation levels increase when they combine their experiences with learningactivities. Similarly, research indicates that integrating science, math, and engineering conceptspositively impacts student engagement with engineering design and skills [1].

Students placing into at least Pre-Calculus as their first math class aredesignated as ‘Pre-Mechanical’, ‘Pre-Electrical’, etc. After successfully completing 1.5-2 yearsof foundational coursework, the ‘Pre-’ is removed and they can take upper-level courses in theirmajor. First-year students who wish to major in engineering, engineering technology, orcomputer science but who

Drop-in tutoring has previously been available atmultiple SSCs including one in a residence hall with a large first-year engineering population(open in the evenings) and one in the main engineering building (open during the day).However, usage of these SSC locations by students in ENGR 2100 has tended to be low.
