The concepts covered in the course integratethe scientific principles and mathematical problem solving with practical applications utilizingengineering tools. Data analysis in Excel, application based programming in MATLAB andsoftware design project are three main components of the course. Although most of theapplication assignments encourage teamwork, students find it difficult to learn and implementthe functionality of tools and lack confidence in accomplishing the tasks in a timely manner. Therationale behind peer mentoring approach is to provide support and a medium for students

Several factors are associated withstudents’ continued participation in STEM disciplines, and ultimately, their pursuit of STEMcareers. An important factor is student interest in STEM. Research indicates that hands-on,inquiry-based activities delivered in informal environments are key factors in helping to developcritical thinking skills and play a significant role in increasing students’ interest and engagementin STEM and the likelihood that they will consider science-related occupations [12].The engineering-focused STEM Academy project is a partnership between an institution ofhigher learning, school districts, state agencies, private foundations, and other STEM
