However, the findings of this study are expected to advance the state ofknowledge and understanding of (a) diverse pathways to and through engineering, and(b) the development of engineering-specific theories of how engineers are formed.A pilot study conducted in 2014-2015 showed that RATS and CFU scores on activitiesrelated to algorithmic thinking (AT) were significantly correlated with moderate to largeeffect sizes, ranged from 0.31 to 0.7315. This implies that students who already had beenexposed to algorithmic thinking seemed to perform better

Note, however, that because both the sample size (9 participants) andthe scorers (1 from each discipline) are small, the analysis cannot support conclusions bydiscipline; instead, it highlights potential differences that merit further

shows that putting too much weight on high stakes standardized tests is resulting in a misrepresentation of actual student potential for academic success and may disadvantage students from historically underrepresented groups. This is especially true with undergraduate engineering programs where a minimum standardized test score is frequently required for admission. This dynamic is relevant in Nebraska where the demographics of the high school graduates, and in particular the growth of the Hispanic/Latino/a population, is changing quickly. In response to this, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Engineering (UNL-COE) admits students who would not ordinarily be admitted under the
