The expected outcomes of this program would be the transferringof acquired practical knowledge and skills to excite, empower, and educate students through newclass/lab activities. Funding from industry allowed additional equipment for schools and havingmore teacher participants in this program. The three-year program achieved most of the planned objectives.

and how they need to frame their academic problem, ask for help, evaluateoptions, and decide for their academic path project.The authors identified two important courses to intervene: UNIV 1301 Learning Frameworksand MECE 1101 Intro to Mechanical Engineering. These two courses teach a variety ofimportant topics, and both traditionally had project elements of technical innovation (MECE1101) and career path planning (UNIV 1301) that required to be formalized into proper projects.For this purpose, the Challenge Based Instruction (CBI) approach (Fuentes et al., 2008;Bransford et al., 1999; Freeman et al., 2016) was chosen to guide the steps of the parallelprojects.

This places the students in a positionof leadership with influence on the club’s success. Additionally, Melissa and Isabellafound that many students in the STEM Club were interested in pursuing engineeringcareers but unsure which engineering field. This uncertainty lends itself
