not resolved over the next decade, a national workforce deficit may occur (Olson &Riordan, 2012). Persistence is particularly important in the STEM fields, where individualswith specific skills and knowledge are needed to fill the largest growing workforce sectors,often in technology related areas. One promising intervention is built on the assumption ofa pipeline where there are not enough interested and qualified K-12 students who areeligible to enter STEM major in college thus reducing the availability of these graduates. Afew interventions, such as the “Hour of Code”, have been developed over the last fewdecades to address the pipeline issues to make STEM majors appealing to students. Thishas been inferred from (Hurtado et al., 2010

involved. It did not take too much time awayfrom the REU students’ research activities, yet provided them with an opportunity to reach out toyounger students. It provided the REU students with an opportunity to work on theircommunication skills. By requiring the REU students to share their experiences and enthusiasmfor engineering, it reminded them of the reasons why they chose to pursue engineering or STEMdegrees in the first place. Given the positive outcomes of this experiment, it is our intention toorganize such activities in future REU program offerings.Acknowledgments:The author gratefully acknowledges the support of the National Science Foundation REUprogram NSF award # EEC-1359137 (2014-2017), award # EEC-1004915 (2010-2013) andaward # EEC

prime breeding ground for threshold concepts.48Considering the course's characteristics, Scott and Harlow49,50 postulated the existence of severalthreshold concepts within the experience: Thevenin's Theorem, dynamic resistance/linearapproximation, phasors (including reactive power), feedback, and dependent sources. Consideringthe assertion that phasors and reactive power are proposed threshold concepts, it is perhapssurprising to see the lack of focus in work on alternating current (AC); rather, Carstensen &Bernhard19 contend that authors are focused primarily on direct current (DC). Compared to anexisting Electronics Concept Inventory,51 the authors concluded that their identification of thethreshold concepts aligned well except for
