science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields remains apriority. A student’s interest in a STEM major often begins at the precollege level, and theirprecollege experience can determine their later academic trajectory. While this interest oftendevelops in middle school or earlier, a student’s high school experience can affect whether astudent maintains or loses their interest. In order to understand a student’s high schoolexperience, this study focuses on the high school factors, student demographic characteristics,and academic achievement factors that inform college-going and STEM major choice. For thisstudy, data come from the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09), which is anationally representative longitudinal

The first phase of the course is allocated fourweeks of the semester. During this first part of the semester, the instructor teaches advancedconcepts on the topic of the course. In our case, these concepts are on VHDL (VHSIC hardwaredescription language) and FPGA (field-programmable gate array) technologies.

Harnessing Light, a study by the National Academy of Sciences1, pointsout that “Although optics is pervasive in modern life, its role is that of a technological enabler: Itis essential, but typically it plays a supporting role in a larger system.” To enable the teaching ofoptics in science and engineering program the study identifies two issues that need to beaddressed when designing programs that teach optics: “How to support and strengthen a fieldsuch as optics whose value is primarily enabling” and
