, African Americans and Latinos make up less than 7% of the individuals with B.S. orhigher-degree holders in STEM fields.4In 2010 in Silicon Valley, the distribution of high school graduates meeting University ofCalifornia (UC) or California State University (CSU) requirements by race/ethnicity reveals thatsome groups are less prepared to enter college upon graduation. Only 24% of Latino and AfricanAmerican graduates met UC/CSU requirements compared to 68% of Asians and 52% of Whites.5This preparation gap is reflected in the results of the Cañada College’s math placement tests overthe last four years. Only 6% of African Americans and 8% of Mexican Americans are qualifiedto begin Trigonometry or higher when they arrive at Cañada College as compared

-reflection and investigation of career pathways can bebuilt directly into required courses. This is particularly useful when it is done consistently and isevaluated formally as part of the student's academic performance. Assignments that have beenused to do this successfully include a one page essay where students describe why they areinterested in their major and what aspects of possible careers interest them after a short lecture onthe possibilities. Another activity involves a lecture on resumes, their content, and how tostructure them to be concise and attractive, followed by an assignment requiring students tosubmit a resume for critique and scoring.

millennium generation’s propensity for believing in “the world according to the media”, they do understand that hard work is a precursor to success. The Contemporary Theories that came later tried to address some of the questions left partially answered by the Early Theories. For example, how do we awaken the Satisfier drives in our students? How do we connect students to their needs and get them to invest by seeing themselves as capable and believing in attainable satisfaction. We must convince students that positive behaviors are worth the effort, time and self-discipline.Contemporary TheoriesAlthough there are numerous contemporary theories only one directly reflects back to the earlytheories and has a

Results supported the hypothesis that a syllabus written in afriendly, rather than unfriendly, tone evoked perceptions of the instructor being more warm,more approachable, and more motivated to teach the course. 2

Our finding thatstudents mentioned Exploration the least may indicate an area where the design projectcurriculum can be improved.

that this phenomenon reflected that students involved in project-based learning activities were more inclined to regard themselves as a part of the engineeringcommunity.The students in Motamedi’s study [19] tended to prefer the flipped classroom because of itsflexibility with their schedules, their ability to watch lectures when they felt motivated tolearn and when they knew that they would be able to stay focused, and their increasedengagement with short video content. A significant disadvantage was their inability to askquestions while learning the material; thus, students would go to class feeling confused andill-prepared.

exaggerate these existing stereotypes and biasesassociated with minoritized racial/ethnic identities. Classes that help participants develop ascientific identity, for example, could encourage interest in STEM career paths (Maton et al.,2016). Similarly, educational programs could improve the level of social support available toSTEM academics from minoritized racial/ethnic groups. When experiencing conflict betweenracial/ethnic and science identity (McCoy et al., 2015), the need for social support becomesparticularly important (Harper, 2012; Ong et al., 2018).
