This workwas approved by the University of Calgary Research Ethics Board under REB23-1762.Longitudinal AnalysisA longitudinal analysis was conducted to evaluate the academic performance and retentionoutcomes of the first five cohorts of BSI students from 2019–2023. We examined mean GPAs infirst-year physics and physics-intensive engineering courses (circuits, statics, programming, andfluids). Yearly GPAs and retention were also tracked for each BSI cohort to assess studentperformance as they progressed through their degree. Outcomes were compared with meanGPAs and retention for general engineering

As the edited volume byTseng [10] summarizes, there are a number of examples of service-learning design projects inengineering courses. The service-learning project in this study, however, emphasizes analysisrather than design as a way to increase student interest in the topic of computer programming andstay motivated to learn an important but threshold concept with the goal of increasing retentionin the discipline.An additional

While non-abstracted problems are crucial in preparing students forprofessional practice, instructors need to consider interventions that will strengthen students' confidencein facing these challenges. Future research will focus on refining the abstraction rating tool (based on the“PRO” portion of the PROCESS rubric) for better inter-rater reliability and analyzing individuallyanswered test or quiz items to remove the effect of group work.
