. For core courses that are taken by all chemical engineeringundergraduate students, it is imperative that the knowledge is retained across multiple semesters.In this work in progress, a study is undertaken of how students retain knowledge delivered in thecourse taught by the instructor. The instructor’s course "Modelling and Simulations in Chemical Engineering” is a corecourse taken by all chemical engineering undergraduate students in their second year, in thespring term. The average class size ranges from 45-60 students. The learning objectives of thecourse are as follows:1. Convert the physical problem into a set of mathematical equations, identify appropriatetechniques and make an informed choice of one of these techniques.2

Technology, only 25% of engineering degrees, includingBachelor’s, Master’s, and Ph.D., were awarded to women in US institutions [1]. Theunderrepresentation of women in engineering may be due to a lack of diversity when recruitingstudents, as well as the fact that women have higher attrition rates than their men peers, so-called“the leaky pipeline” [2, 3, 4].Many studies have attempted to understand this high attrition rate of women students inengineering careers. Some suggest that women students have fewer opportunities to develop theirengineering interests or chances to be recognized as engineers compared with their mencounterparts [5, 6, 7, 8, 9].

Introduction and Literature Review Probability is a fundamental course for students in both electrical and computer engineeringmajors at Purdue University Fort Wayne. This course serves as an introduction to probabilities andstatistics, as well as their applications to engineering problems. Most students consider probabilityand statistics a hard subject, partly because it requires a combination of math theory and real worldthinking, and the connection between the two is often not very intuitive. It is also challenging forstudents to apply the theory to problem solving, especially on how to

Engineering concepts began to trickle down into theundergraduate curriculums, typically in the Computer Science or Computer Engineering areas. In 1995,ISO/IEC 12207 [1] was published, providing a baseline for the discipline. The concept of a softwareengineering major was first put forth in 1997 [2]. Work then began on a set of guidelines for thedevelopment of an undergraduate curriculum [3].In 1996, Rochester Institute of Technology admitted the first students into its program [4], which thenled in 2001 to the first programs receiving ABET accreditation using the program criterion of Figure 1.

Most undergraduate mechanical engineering students take aCAD course during their studies. Further, research has shown that instruction on CAD tools hasa positive impact on students’ development of spatial reasoning skills [1]. The prototypingprocess and the use of CAD tools are often interwoven during engineering design, particularlywhen designing physical artifacts.Depending on the nature of a design problem, an

Since the activity (and subsequent analysis)relies on relatively little background knowledge, first-year STEM students can effectively engagewith the game, and some students can produce novel models of the game’s behavior. Thischallenges an assertion sometimes made in modeling pedagogy—that undergraduate studentslack the domain knowledge necessary to engage fully in the modeling process [1]. Additionally,the proposed activity results in a rich student-generated data set which motivates a variety ofquestions about viral phenomena, and offers the opportunity for students to meaningfully answerthese questions by
