She received her B.A.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Windsor, a M.B.A. from Lawrence Technological University, and a Ph.D. from Michigan State University in Materials Science and Engineering.Dr. Wendy S. Reffeor, Grand Valley State University Wendy Reffeor is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering in the
beneficial involvement. Threshold theories of studentinvolvement predict diminishing or negative returns at higher levels of involvement. These studieshave measured level of involvement as either number of activities or number of hours involved inactivities [58], [63], [64]. These studies fit nonlinear functions of involvement with respect ofacademic outcomes, finding that at high levels of involvement the benefits leveled off or evendeclined slightly. Vetter et al.’s [17] findings about the significance of quality of involvement overquantity of involvement echo these findings, concluding that “co-curricular programs andactivities are of greatest benefit when they encourage students to engage more deeply… only oneor two meaningful co-curricular
more motivated to complete multiple rotations.Future WorkFuture work is to expand this data beyond a single institution to look for other contextualinfluences on student views. This will help build better descriptions or find additional uniquegroups. Additionally, this expanded work can help identify how institutional or corporatecultures could be impacting the co-op experience.References[1] R. S.
