“grit”, self-determination and social cognitive careertheories are used to explore self-efficacy, goal orientation and perception of institutionalculture as mediators of academic achievement. A significant part of this paper analyzesresponses to interventions designed to support retention of students lacking the mathbackground to “hit the ground running” upon entering a large, public predominantlywhite institution (PWI)’s college of engineering, with a disproportionate number ofminorities in the underprepared category. Targeted retention interventions for first yearstudents yielded statistically significant improvement in math course progression,particularly for minority students. Overall attrition decreased by 10% in two successiveyears

then learn more about the pumps, heat transfer and oxygenation through a series ofhands-on exercises. Finally, students investigate ways to make fluid flow and learn how fluidflow is measured and described quantitatively. Following hands-on exploration, students useonline models and animations to illustrate the “non-visible” mechanism(s) driving many of theobserved macroscopic events. Concepts of molecular motion and heat transfer are stressed,linking the online visualization to the hands-on activities. Computer-based mathematicalsimulations are utilized prior to the final design and build phase allowing students to alter avariety of design parameters and quantify their impact on the system efficiency (STEMPractices). Students then plan, build

We define a role model as a person(s) whom theparticipant observed and was inspired by without necessarily having any prior relationship orcommunication. For example, many participants explained that their faith in their own ability tobecome an engineer was strengthened after seeing someone excelling within an engineeringprogram who “looked like them” or came from a similar background. Their role models inspiredand motivated them to work harder. Additionally, many participants described increasing theirinvolvement in NSBE/SHPE as a result of observing role models.

Atheory must be able to illuminate phenomena of interest, that is, explain and predict.

The public school systems in New Orleans prior to Katrina consistedof roughly 65,000 students spread among ~4,000 teachers with a predominantly (~93%) blackpopulation.

Soon the students discover the problem oftipping over backwards if there is too much power driving the rear wheels. So, how is the topfuel dragster stable? A simple force balance shows the students the point of the long nose of thedragster is to stabilize it as it applies its large torque to the wheels and accelerates. Torque,which had previously been applied to only abstract and obscure systems now answers a specificand visible question in the students’ minds.
