After twenty-one years of practice and 165 graduates,the program is successful despite many administrative difficulties, built into the curriculuminefficiencies, and program procedural issues.Currently, the Consortium has 126 students, but the number of active students is less, because ofthe nature of the students. Enrolled students are allotted nine years to complete the program.Though nine years may seem a bit too long for typical doctoral program students, the averageage of students in the Consortium program is 46.

Whether thecadets at West Point enter the Academy from enlisted service or civilian life, they are all 18-24years of age and struggle with many of the same social and societal issues of their civiliancollege counterparts.

A key assumption of the SRLperspective is that learners can exert some control over not only their behavior, but also theirmotivation, e.g. by positive self-talk, promising themselves extrinsic rewards, or connectingcourse-level goals with long-term career goals [10]. Our curriculum intervention strategy is basedon the hypothesis that we can increase motivation by helping students make connections betweenactivities and concepts in several required courses.Motivational constructs are not fixed for a given student, but are assumed to depend on theparticular learning context.

These numbersindicate that students lose enthusiasm or interest in S&E somewhere between high school, whenmany are interested in an S&E career, and graduation. Further, students are aware of this, asnearly half (49%) of surveyed engineering juniors report having doubts about majoring inengineering. Retaining students until graduation is recognized as a challenge by higher learninginstitutions across the US [4]. Due to the heavy focus on content, engineering in college turnsinto a “closed club” and becomes less attractive for students to persist in [3].1.2: Predictors of PersistenceSeymour and

Challenges at a Science Center  AbstractMany engineers attribute their careers to early interest in STEM. Interest, not performance, hasbeen shown to be a greater predictor of choosing to concentrate in STEM1. However, schoolsoften neglect the engineering component of STEM. Consequently, extracurriculars such asscience centers must play key roles in influencing children by fostering interest in engineering.Taking advantage of the popular tinkering and Do-It-Yourself Maker movement, increasinglymore science centers are offering engineering and maker programs. But are they empoweringvisitors to engineer?This paper details the study of the Ingenuity Lab, an engineering maker space at the LawrenceHall of Science. The space is open to drop-in visitors on
