A teacher usually has a tight lesson plan calibrated to the requirement of a StateEducation Board and/or SAT/ACT requirement nationwide. The challenge of asking a teacher totrain a student’s mind for the development of an engineering mindset is not an easy task. Amongthe high school subjects, physics could be one of the subject that is amenable for modification interms of exposing students to design related to science knowledge.

Requirements that students becalculus-ready before starting an engineering degree program can prohibit students frommajoring in engineering disciplines. Although some programs exist (e.g., summer bridge andred-shirt-like programs) to serve students “whose high school records do not yet represent theirpotential,” program capacity is often well below the need [38]. Enrollment Management (EM)policies arbitrarily exclude students based on performance in prerequisite classes that are notalways indicative of potential in major coursework or as a practicing engineer.

Thisweak math background creates a challenge for many Scholars whose degree plans requirecalculus and calculus-based physics courses to be taken simultaneously in the first year.As described elsewhere, RESP is not a remedial program [6]. Instead, the summer portion ofRESP prepares Scholars for the pace, rigor, and depth of the STEM curriculum by focusing onthe most challenging concepts covered in the first-year STEM curriculum.
