develop an engineering mindset. Mentors tookan approach of teaching students by first having them watch or closely assist them before settingthem free to continue the task on their own. Mentors’ goal was to have students doing most ofthe decision making and work. Mentors realized the FRC activity was complex and wanted theirstudents to push their limits but still work within their means in order to produce the bestproduct. “If you take somebody and you try to teach them how to do something, about the fourth iteration they start unlearning it. This is occasionally called “drill and kill.” If you teach somebody how to do something by doing it with them and then you back off and let them do it and then go through a Q/A

With the fundamental framework in place, the eSET team then contacted a number oflarge and small companies in the Dallas, Austin, Houston triangle to set up meetings and Q&Asessions about their product development processes.

Also, these resultsshow the views of all the students of the SAS scholarship program.In Figure 1, a clear difference is shown in the timing of when students decided to major inengineering or computer science. The transfer students were split across all responses, while thenon-transfer students mostly chose to major in the last two years of high school.
