In the 21st century, personalized electronics, such as smart phones and laptops, are usedat a much higher rate than almost any other resources, including textbooks, by digitally nativestudents. Similarly, very little information is available about textbook usage, and most researchshows a majority of college students do not read textbooks [1-6]. However, technology fromreading quizzes to interactive textbooks are beginning to measure positive results related to out ofclass reading and participation [7-15]. Specifically, fully interactive textbooks from zyBooks hasshown excellent results helping students in the lower third of the course as

The objectivesof this program are to (1) recruit diverse students to STEM fields, (2) Retain 85% of scholarshiprecipients in a STEM field, (3) Increase the civic mindedness and engagement amongparticipants, and (4) Achieve a STEM placement for 90% of the program graduates. In order tomeet these objectives, the PI team has implemented a series of well-established methods.Scholarships are awarded to make college more accessible and allow more time for educationalopportunities through reduced need for outside employment.

Research has shown thatthe majority of students generally enjoy learning through videos [2], [4]–[7]. Approximately 70-85% of students report that they find videos helpful and useful [2], [4], [5] Though such videosmay be well-liked, it is important to bridge the gap between how the use of videos relates to thegrades received by students.

Researchers have studied various engineering curriculums and teaching styles todetermine the best system for engineering education. Current research on this topic suggest thattraditional teaching methods (lectures and typical homework assignments) do not meet all theobjective requirements for engineering education [1].

Gioia and Brass [3] in 1985 noted that the collegestudents being taught then were a “TV Generation”, who were raised in an environmentdominated by visual images. In early 2000, the new “Virtual Generation” appeared withprevalent virtual media such as Internet and videogames [4]. Most recently, the “iGeneration”has been raised with the presence of mobile and handheld technologies (iPod, iTunes, iPhone,Wii, iPad) experienced in an individualized manner [5, 6].

Specifically, the NationalScience Foundation (NSF) Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(S-STEM) program provides funding for projects framed around increasing the graduationsuccess and workforce readiness of low-income academically talented STEM students [1]. Withthis, financial aid alone is not enough to increase the graduation rate of these low-income, andusually diverse, population of students.
