Furthermore, the framework has the potential to be aninspiration when it connects with a person’s wider experiences and interests. In particular, musicand sound making were given more weight than skill building. Instead of offering a how-to-solder session, the promotional materials invited participants to build their own touch synthesizer(fig.1). The language

minority undergraduates who do not have those favorableexperiences may face challenges with the coursework and navigating the culture ofengineering institutions.This is critically important given the fact that colleges of engineering are professionalschools with operating cultures that are traditionally rigid with very prescriptivepathways to attain the degree. This study posits that the integration of cognitive andnon-cognitive factors can most effectively quantify what works for retaining morediverse engineering students in the first two years. Of particular interest are the followingoverarching questions: (1) How would a cognitive intervention (engineering math remediation) impact underrepresented students’ progression in the

Awards are made in four tiers: • Tier 1: $4,000 for two consecutive semesters enrolled in two transfer level STEM courses each semester during one academic year. • Tier 2: $5,000 for two consecutive semesters enrolled in three transfer level STEM courses in one semester and two during the other semester of one academic year. • Tier 3: $6,000 for two consecutive semesters enrolled in three transfer level STEM courses

Abroad range of activities can be considered active learning techniques under this definition [2].Some are simple and easy implement.
