The goals were: (a) tounderstand whether particular pedagogical support practices were effective in offering non-traditional students a program that enabled them to remain in engineering and science majors andto transfer to a four-year college or university, and (b) to determine if students’ propensity forinnovative problem solving influenced use of pedagogical practices and ultimately, transferpersistence. The research targeted four research questions: (1) What are the patterns ofpedagogical practices that

University of Texas-Austin SAE student branch. The main idea behind the FSAE is thatan imaginary manufacturing company has contracted a student design team to develop a smallFormula-style race car. The prototype race car is to be evaluated for its potential as a productionitem. The target marketing group for the race car is the non-professional weekend autocrossracer. Each student team designs, builds and tests a prototype based on a series of rules, whosepurpose is both ensuring on-track safety (the cars are driven by the students themselves) andpromoting clever problem solving [1].Tennessee Tech University has a very well established FSAE team that competes in the top FSAEcompetitions within the US.

We found that the diagnostic exam accounted for an incremental 9% ofvariance in STEM grades above SAT performance, but only 1% of incremental variance aboveSAT in non-STEM grades. Moreover, we found evidence of range restriction for both SAT andRESP diagnostic exam performance for Rice University matriculants, further suggesting theutility of the diagnostic exam is at the lower end of the distribution. In summary, our resultssuggest that an additional diagnostic exam written by schools to specifically measure STEMpreparation for their program can be a useful addition to procedures for selecting students
