]).58% of the institute’s students are first generation, and 77% of the students are anunderrepresented minority. The institute suffers from a large gap in college readiness, which isprimarily due to poorly performing public schools (87% of K-12 regional schools failed to meetthe 2011 NCLB AYP). As a consequence, the second year retention of first-time freshmanstudents for the institute (59% in average for the last five years) is considerably lower ascompared to the main three research universities in the state (77%, 73%, and 79% in average forthe last five years [2]).The CET was awarded an NSF-IUSE grant internally named EDUCERE in 2016 to implement acomprehensive work-plan to improve student learning and retention through improved

How does engineering science connect with thetraditional natural sciences, and what is relevant to K-12 engineering instruction?Moving Beyond DesignThe FPEL proposes engineering literacy for all students, which moves beyond a focus on design[10]. The three-dimensional approach includes habits of mind, practices, and knowledge, withearlier grades emphasizing habits of mind. This was evident in the 89% of studies coded forFPEL habits of mind (e.g., creativity, collaboration, and persistence), with several studiesinvestigating behaviors like collaboration or conflict management during team activities [40],[63], [64], [65]. However, such habits of mind, including teamwork

Additionally, most college faculty are on 9-month contractswhich provides the opportunity to engage in K-12 outreach during the summer. Finally, Prescottis located at an elevation of 5000 feet above sea level which makes for a temperate climate forengaging in summer activities as compared with the rest of the state of Arizona.In order to understand how this summer experience fits in as an outreach activity, it is worthreviewing the taxonomy of K-12 outreach approaches.
