Adult engineers, scientists and technologists may take objects apart and put them backtogether to learn about the object. From there, they may try to invent a new object fromsomething that they have experienced. The people

AbstractElectrical Engineering students usually have to wait a long time before acquiring the mathematics andphysics prerequisites required to take their first technical courses and even when they take courses such ascircuits, electromagnetics and digital logic, they are not given an opportunity to develop a system-levelunderstanding about the interrelation of the topics that they study in these courses. In fact in many electricalengineering programs, students have to wait until their senior year before

question and answers. The spots were hostedmonthly throughout the academic year using Blackboard Ultra Collaborate in a Canvas courseshell. All spots were recorded for students who were not able to attend the live session.However, attendance at these spots averaged at 30% with most students attending group work,Active Listening, and Oral Communication.The team sought SMEs who would host the spot as a donation of time to keep costs low. Theteam learned that some spots, such as the group work spot, did cost a minimal fee due to using aspecific curriculum. However, most SMEs were willing to host a spot at no cost.Research MethodologyTo obtain information about how the spots impacted the STEM students, the team developed amulti-prong, mixed methods
