IntroductionA problem with many high schools is that challenging courses are not offered, especially inmathematics and the sciences. In its final report of 2001, The National Commission on theHigh School Senior Year urged states to offer challenging alternatives to the traditionalhigh school senior year. The report said that not enough high schools are preparingstudents for college and careers and that while 70 percent of today’s high school graduatesgo on to some form of postsecondary education, only one-half of those who enroll at four-year institutions leave with a degree. The main reason cited was that they were notprepared for the rigors of college academics in high

Importantly, students strongly agreed that “Technology plays an important role in solving society’sproblems,” and that “Engineers have contributed greatly to fixing problems of the world.” Students displayedoverall excitement for the future. Further, students’ comments revealed the positive impact of the course.

When compared with the previous year, results show asignificant improvement in retention. Mentoring needs and activities increased while tutoringneeds ended. Some cohort members started undergraduate research projects with their mentorswhile some others became involved in engineering design projects and competitions. Through anaggressive student placement program and two career fairs, some cohort students were able tosecure internships.IntroductionTo battle high

Furthermore, aneffective mentoring relationship can improve doctoral students’ research skills and productivity[11-14]. On the other hand, ineffective mentoring from advisors can lead to graduate students’negative mentoring experience, which in turn leads to detrimental career and psychosocialconsequences, such as missed opportunities for career networking and undermining of researchconfidence [15]. Although faculty mentoring has enormous effects on doctoral students’academic careers and confidence, no faculty is born a natural mentor. Unfortunately, facultyadvisors generally do not

The course addresses challenges ranging from how to deal with financialpressure, seeking career opportunities, time management, workplace etiquette, and othernecessary skills. It consists of five different modules: Financial Planning, Effective Job Hunting,Accelerating Your Career, Learning Never Stops, and Entrepreneurship. Modules utilizemethodologies from experiential learning theory to enhance student learning and contribute tothe body of knowledge of teaching methods in STEM.An initial assessment was performed to measure the impact of this course and its modules.Metrics
