This ASEEretention project collectively invited around 60 universities to share their perceptions on thistopic and, specifically, asked for a focus on exploring the best practices and strategies forretaining students in Engineering, Engineering Technology and Computing programs [1, 2]. Themain focus of this study is to find the reasons why 40 to 50% of engineering freshmen had eitherswitched or withdrawn from the engineering major. The study indicated that it is mainly due topoor teaching and advising, difficulty of the engineering curriculum, and lack of “belonging”within engineering [2, 3]. Furthermore, these

Additionally, to eliminate barriers to entry, the only prerequisite that e4usarequires is Algebra I, and teachers are not required to have backgrounds in engineering.

One particularly effective approach isthrough hands-on learning and “making,” since children often have a natural affinity fortinkering and learn well through active involvement in meaningful activities [1]. Hands-on,project-based learning has been shown to get more students engaged with STEAM and help themlearn key skills for the future [2]. However, most STEAM education programs target students inupper-middle or high school [3]. Bustamante et. al write, “Since engineering education hastraditionally not been part of the general K–12 education experience (i.e., the beginning ofprimary school (age 5) through the end of secondary school (age 18)), early childhood educatorshave minimal background in engineering

The absorption spectra of fruit dyes, along with food dyes, were examined in contrastto the solar spectrum. Teachers demonstrate the working principle of DSSCs and integrate hands-on activities into the K-12 curriculum. As the outcome, students should be able to (1) explain howa dye-sensitized solar cell converts sunlight into electricity; (2) design and build a dye-sensitizedsolar cell from basic components; (3
