SI attendance has also been shown to differ based on gender, with females attending SIat higher rates than males [10].Research questionsWith these background findings in mind, the overall objective for this paper is to analyze theeffects of high school and early college experiences, use of SI, and gender on retention, GPA,graduation rate, and other college experiences for engineering students at NortheasternUniversity. In particular, this paper investigates the following questions: How indicative is first semester academic performance of subsequent academic success, both during a student’s undergraduate studies and at graduation? Does gender affect student academic behaviors (e.g

With this in mind, engineers as well as non-engineers have arole to play to ameliorate living conditions for humans everywhere to reduce thepossibility of war and conflict. The question humanity in general and engineers inparticular are faced with is how to engineer peace and employ various skills to build abetter future for all. The answer to this question starts with an attempt to combat thefactors that ultimately lead to conflict.

This lack ofunderstanding of what is needed to amplify the efforts of HSIs to appropriately educate Latinxundergraduate engineering is, therefore, the focus of the research project.Research on engineering education reform highlights the importance of understanding barriers tochange and the impacts of the environmental, historical, and systemic constraints on reformefforts [7]. In addition, research on educational change emphasizes that effective strategies forreform require alignment with the beliefs of the individuals involved or must seek to changethose beliefs [8]. With that in mind, there exists a need to learn from individuals who wouldbenefit from and/or engage with future research at HSIs, the
sources [22], andtailored specifically to the needs of engineering undergraduate students undergoing formalresearch training. The combination of techniques was chosen on the understanding from theliterature that in order to be creative, students must be willing to risk trying something new andbe willing to make mistakes.[48] Theatre exercises enable students to open their minds, questionassumptions, and see things differently; moreover, they help lower the stakes for students whomay be uncomfortable with a process that may be completely foreign to them. These activitieshave been shown to improve students’ abilities to think creatively in a typical classroomenvironment [22, 49].In the summer of 2018, our group sought to implement similar, evidence
understanding students’ attitudes towards writing can lead to improved competency.Graduate engineering writing education in the United States, however, is complicated by the factthat over half of U.S. engineering graduate students are international. While most graduateprograms require English proficiency exams, like the TOEFL or IELTS, these exams do notmeasure proficiency at disciplinary academic writing, the genre of which is “foreign” even to U.S.domestic students. With these two populations in mind, this study seeks to investigate the attitudesof graduate engineering student writers, seeking to draw comparisons and illuminate differencesin the ways in which graduate engineering students conceptualize and approach the writing processin order to lend

Engineering colleges are under pressureto not only graduate students but to graduate more well-rounded engineers who can tackle themany challenges we face. To meet the call, colleges are putting more efforts to create robust first-year experiences for engineering students through the development of formal first-yearengineering programs (Bates, 2014; Rabb, Howison, & Skenes, 2015).As first-year engineering gains traction with nearly 60% of

2011NRC report from the Workshop on Computational Thinking, it was noted that CT is crucial tothe development of engineering habits of mind and in solving engineering problems [9].Therefore, given the cross-disciplinary nature of CT and engineering and the reality for teachersto address current educational reforms, both CT and engineering provide avenues for thinkingabout STEM integration and the successful integration of both engineering and CT intoclassrooms [10], [11]. Within the work on elementary engineering instruction, research has found that whenlearning engineering, students need opportunities to learn from failure, work in teams, practiceall phases of the engineering design process, and apply their mathematics and
fields thatmatch their values and view of the world. The project’s hands-on activities are designed toengage students in hands-on STEM experiences to improve their understanding offundamental concepts in a way that capitalizes upon their design, visualization, creativity andteamwork skills and yearnings.Incorporating mathematical and scientific fundamentals via engineering design-basedmethodology that infuses engineering habits of mind has proven to be a highly effectivemodel for STEM education. The National Academy of Engineering found that engineering inK-12 education has the power to improve learning and student achievement in science andmath, as well as develop student interest in, and preparedness for, the STEM workforce [1].An increasing
