learningare collaborative learning, co-operative learning, and problem-based learning. Various studies,from using interactive, hands-on lessons and activities designed to teach research process toundergraduate engineering students 1 , to preparing manufacturing engineering students throughcompetitions, projects sponsored by industry, capstone projects, laboratory exercises or projectssimulating real-life scenarios 2 , have shown that active learning increases student performance inSTEM subjects.Critical thinking, identified by The U. S. Department of Labor as the raw material of a number ofkey workplace skills such as problem solving, decision making, organizational planning, and riskmanagement, is highly coveted by employers of engineering graduates

familiesFurther DiscussionThis paper sheds light on protective factors, as well as risk factors that may impact the academicsuccess in STEM for American Indian youth. It also provides insight into some complicated, yetcritical, relationships that impact both teacher and student persistence in schools in Indiancountry. Further research on pre-service and in-service teacher development that highlights andleverages the strengths of the American Indian culture in an effort to engage youth and theirfamilies in academic endeavors should be conducted.

four years (2cohort groups) from the first cohort program start. On graduation, of the first cohort, nearly 20%of the graduating students from Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, found funding to fly to the United Statesto attend their graduation ceremony with other campus-based graduating M.S. students.

Studentswere asked “How confident are you in your ability to do each of the following at this time?” andranked their answers on a five point Likert scale from “not confident” to “extremely confident”(on a scale from 0 to 4). The scale was presented and discussed as ISE.6 construct in a recenttechnical report on the EMS (Gilmartin, S., et al, 2017). The construct shows a Cronbach’s alphaof 0.79, and the score for each students’ innovation self-efficacy is calculated by taking theaverage of these six items.3.3.2 Venturing self-efficacyThe item is adapted from Lucas et al.’s (2009) Venturing Self-Efficacy scale.

choice questions, wereavoided. The main intention was to entice engineering students to analytically solve engineeringproblems from scratch in a regular, classic way, i.e. by typically partitioning the problem intophases or threads and solving each phase sequentially until reaching the final answer(s). Anadditional motivation for this objective was the desire to offer engineering students the chance togain partial credits if they manage to solve parts of the problem. In Blackboard, one questiontype that appears to suit this multi-thread partitioning is called “Fill in Multiple Blanks” questiontype. However, unlike the “Calculated Numeric” type of questions (also available onBlackboard), the Fill in Multiple Blanks type of questions does not
