the day. Education was not necessary to earn a living, it was merely a luxury for the elites and the rich. Education 2.0 originated from the need to read and write and was developed in the model of Industry 2.0, with emphasis on repeatability, uniformity, efficiency, and mass production. Industry needed lots of people to do same type of tasks and the education paradigm evolved to meet that need. Engineering education, which modeled the industrial set-up most closely followed a highly linear path with curriculum being divided into a set of courses with a distinct prerequisite structure where students would have to pass one class to move onto the next. This arrangement, mirrored the assembly line and turned out to be the most efficient

A typical summer bridge is four to six weeks long and takesplace in the summer after high school and preceding the students first fall semester. Students areselected at a certain math SAT range, enter the program as a cohort, and live in a residentialcommunity on campus. Days are filled with math-intensive course work and team orientedprojects. Bridge programs are typically offered at a deeply discounted cost (or none at all) to thestudent’s family. A pseudo college environment is created to prepare the student for the skillsneeded to be successful as a first-year student in engineering or other STEM fields. Uponcompletion of this program, students continue their

The HODA are peer-to-peer interactions where the roles of specific studentschange between participant and leader throughout the semester. To lead the discovery activitiesin class, the student teams were instructed to follow the five steps shown in Figure 1. In addition,the students developed and agreed to a simple list of rules for participating in all the HODA; theprimary rule is to listen to the leaders and play the game. Each of the five steps is expanded inthe next sections of the paper.

However, even with all of these programs(some of which may be offered outside of normal work hours), the bulk of student time at REUsites is spent on research activities.2.2
