Cybersecurity summer camps may be able tohelp address these education challenges.2. BackgroundThis section provides background in two parts; experiential education and project-based learningconcepts as integrated into the summer camp format and the creation of the GenCyber summercybersecurity camp program.Experiential education in a teaching philosophy in which learners purposefully engage withdirect experience to develop skills and increase knowledge while educators facilitate the learningexperience [7].

Thismethod of learning is beneficial in face-to-face situations where students may engage in groupactivities. But it becomes more challenging to replicate in online courses. There is evidence thatthe CIQ is widely used in various levels of education [5, p. 177], but there is only limitedevidence of how the CIQ is used in engineering online teaching environments.

While the impact of this researchwill certainly address the existing dismal 45-60% DFW rate of Pre-Calculus across our campusthat needs to be rectified, it is designed with scalability in mind. This project will create variedanimation scenarios for students to experience real life situations where they would applymathematics.

The purpose of this paper was to determine if HE program retained over-preparedstudents at a higher rate than those who did not participate and to compare grade point averagesand retention rates of these same student populations. We found that those students whoparticipated in HE were retained at a higher rate (91%) than the general FEP population (70%),and the population of over-prepared students who did not participate in HE (84%). The studentswho participated in HE also achieved higher first fall and cumulative first spring GPAs comparedto those who did not participate.KeywordsFaculty Paper, Retention, First-Year Engineering, Critical Thinking, Hands-on
