We have seen an increase from 75% to 90%over the past eight years. The STEP IB project involves, on average, 343 first-time first-yearstudents annually who are placed into 18-19 cohorts.

In addition, the model includes continued opportunities for students toincorporate their skills into their programs of study and dissertation research. By moving awayfrom the ‘sole’ bootcamp-style program, spacing the learning opportunities over time [19]-[20]and integrating learning opportunities into their programs of study we hope to achieve moreeffective outcomes.

Adjustments to the lecture topics to promote better tie in to the lab and to the rest ofthe curriculum can be made if an experiment consistently scores low in the metrics “This lab issupported by lecture” and “I can imagine applying this information to other problems.” Theresults have also indicated that labs need to be interesting and engaging and broadly applicable inorder to be perceived as helping students learn. This reinforces the need to develop labs that areopen ended and hands on, rather than overly constrained cookbook type experiments.
