The RISE scholars also participate in the Guaranteed 4.0 program, consistingof four interactive seminars. According to the founder, Donna O. Johnson Mackey, “The focusof these seminars is not “how to study. Rather, we want students to learn how to learn andultimately achieve a mindset of academic excellence and success.” Using this comprehensiveframework, students learn simple strategies such as repetition for long-term informationretention, as well as more complex strategies focused on critical thinking and metacognition[11].The spring semester presents the scholars with opportunities to discover some of the connectionsbetween their interests and

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for secondarymathematics aim to have students practice applying what they learn to real-world scenarios andproblems, while also emphasizing communication, collaboration, problem solving, and criticalthinking skills, similar to the NGSS [2]. Currently, many K-12 science classrooms are faced with challenges when giving studentsreal opportunities to do science involving true inquiry and hands-on learning, especially in high-minority enrollment schools, as they face underfunding and under resourcing, and haveincreasingly less access to certified science teachers [3]. This project, a mobile multifunctionalweather station, utilizes a fairly simple

The course was initially developed aroundthe Studying Engineering: A Road Map to a Rewarding Career (Landis, 2013). Using the text asa guide, students explored lessons that challenged them to think more about why they wanted tobecome an engineer, what would be required to become an engineer, and what professional skillsthey needed to be successful. The course culminated with the writing project “Design YourProcess for Becoming a World-Class Engineering Student” in which students appliedengineering design concepts to

bachelor’s degrees has declined by almost40% [3]. At the same time, the demand for engineering graduates for engineering jobs isforecasted to rise by 25% to 30% by the end of the 21st century [4].Research shows that this decline is due primarily to the lack of first-year students expressing aninterest in engineering at the beginning of their college careers. Youth career interests aremoving away from engineering and science to business and management. In addition, many ofthose who enter engineering in the first year switch to a different major after their first or secondyear of study. These attrition rates range from 30% to 50% depending on the institution [5-7].The dropout rate is even higher for underrepresented groups, reaching nearly 70
