This researchwill provide the basis for developing models that facilitate identifying factors that may have ahigh impact on student dropout upon entering the School of Engineering. This allows for earlydetection of student groups that may be prone to dropout, enabling intervention to supportstudents according to their specific needs, whether financial, employment, study methodologyactivities, or career guidance.The methodology implemented for developing the predictive model is detailed in thesubsequent sections.

Informalprograms provide opportunities for targeted enrichment, especially in the areas of computerscience (CS), artificial intelligence (AI), and engineering design. Continuous learning is ensuredby allowing students to engage with new technology resources supportive of coding andengineering [7], [8].Summer programs complement traditional K-12 education by exposing students to STEMconcepts through engagement in various activities and applications that provide the time, means,and resources for authentic STEM learning [6]. These opportunities have shown impacts onstudents’ interest in STEM content, future careers, and grades

[2]. Informal peer-to-peer advising occursacross campus: in the residence and dining halls, in classrooms, or even at the gym. Sometimes,this informal advising provides students with incorrect information or a false sense of security,which eventually adds stress and struggle to their academic career [4].Official peer advising programs are comprised of students who have received formal training,ensuring that information is accurate and resource referrals are appropriate.

Therefore, fostering math interest iscrucial for motivating individuals to pursue engineering careers and engage in engineeringlearning [9]. Moreover, interest plays a pivotal role in the development of a positive STEM self-concept [8]. When individuals have an interest in STEM, they are more likely to seek outinformation and opportunities to engage in STEM activities, further contributing to their self-concept [8]. Therefore, we expected math interest to impact course grades, even after accountingfor engineering self-efficacy.Math Self-Concept Math self-concept relates to an individual's self-perception of their competence

They pale in comparisonwith research-focused institutions which comprise the bulk of the higher education facilities,both in student numbers and budget.

At the high school (HS), the course is taught by HS teachers who are appointed adjunctinstructors by the College. The participating instructors typically have experience teaching APcalculus or science or, alternatively, career and technical education (CTE) engineering courses.The adjuncts receive two-weeks training from university faculty members who have offered theon-campus version of the class.

millennial students have been encouraged by their elementary,middle and secondary level schools to be actively involved in the education of theirchildren. This extends not only in the traditional areas of personal and social support, butinto curricular areas as well. Reports on the activities of these parents is found in thepopular press,3 magazines4, professional journals, student services publications5 and othergovernmental publications at the local, state and federal levels.6This parental motivation for increased educational involvement comes from a variety ofreasons beyond the natural parental desire to protect and support their children. It isfound in the gender of the parent7, the career pattern of the parent, their active parentingstyle, and
