She stated, I had realized the mental and emotional toll that grad school was heaping on [me], honestly, unrealistic level[s] of expectations, the multiple projects, and the teaching, and still dealing with personal life, and all while being thrown in the deep end. No one actually ever teaches you how to do research. You just kind of sink or swim.Giselle’s increased mental distress led to her decision to take a leave of absence.

Students read Conway’s retrospective article [30] describinghow this came about along with many of the impacts of this work, including the widespreadcreation of university courses in VLSI design, the development of the foundry model pioneeredusing multi-project chips and leading to foundry companies and fabless semiconductorcompanies. It also describes how this “democratization” of integrated circuit design made itpossible for university researchers to develop new technologies such as RISC computerarchitectures.During this section students view the Silicon Run documentary [31

While the interwoven strands ofidentity trajectory theory are the same, the definitions and operationalization of these strands aredifferent. The original descriptions were modified to characterize experiences that influence theirpathway into engineering and development as engineers. The intellectual strand focuses on howstudents learn engineering knowledge in ways that enable students to contribute to engineeringclassrooms, team projects, and internship opportunities [23].

The goal of this three-year exploration is to determine if sucha system as the EMS can be built to collect this data in real time within the classroomand accurately capture behavioral and emotional engagements. Also to be explored is theintegration of disparate data types such as image data, heart rate, academic performance,etc., within an AI classification system. Final efforts on the project will include prelimi-nary evaluation of the ability to infer cognitive engagement from behavioral and emotionalengagements. As demonstrated in previous work, classifying emotions and behaviors is pos-sible to some extent, and psychological work has established the link between emotionaland behavioral engagement with cognitive

The Race/Ethnicitygreater trend, however, hasbeen that the White, non-Hispanics students are retained at a higher percentage than the Hispanicstudents.Conclusions and Future WorkThis work-in-progress project has shown that there are a few classes in the pre-constructioncurriculum that are most likely to cause issues with student progression (including Mathematicsand Chemistry). Further, the retention of transfer students was not a significant issue, perhapsbecause these students have already taken some of the courses with the highest DFW rates,although this theory is unconfirmed.

First, tocharacterize career pathways, we asked participants to identify the number of career positionsthat they have experienced, including educational opportunities and
engineering majors would take MEEN 221 as their main staticsengineering course. Starting in the Fall 2015 term, the Mechanical Engineering Departmentdeveloped a new Statics course exclusively for MEEN students, MEEN 225. This new course wasdesigned to better prepare students for subsequent MEEN curriculum. Topics covered are verysimilar, however MEEN 225 uses group projects in addition to homework and major exams forassessment. The students must also attend a 3-hour recitation every week in MEEN 225.Since the Fall 2015 semester when the divergence of the MEEN 221 and MEEN 225 coursesbegan, the department has seen a much higher percentages of students earn a grade of a D, an F,or Q-drop in MEEN 221 creating higher DFQ rates.

Activities were related to earlyengineering fundamentals courses (e.g., statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials), as well asapplications of specific civil engineering subdisciplines (e.g., structural and transportation engineering)(Tables 3-4). The engineering faculty worked closely with course instructors to ensure that seminaractivities aligned with recent course topics. Seminar deliverables and a comprehensive project accountedfor 20% of the course grade.Table 3. Summary of activities completed in the parallel engineering applications seminar.

Some libraries have developed policies and guidelines thatspell out what level of librarian involvement constitutes a basis for co-authorship. It is importantthat librarians understand the substantial time commitment involved in participation in systematicreview projects, and that there is consideration in their institution of whether such support is to beroutinely offered, or whether it becomes part of a fee-for-service scheme. If they are willing toengage in this work, librarians should advocate for their inclusion in systematic review researchteams. Several agencies [21], [22] recommend the

discourage them from further pursuing CS [10]. Along these lines, the ethnographic study of anundergraduate programming course conducted by Secules et al. shows the combined impact of several“mundane and seemingly innocuous” aspects of the course, such as the seating arrangement in lecture andthe status hierarchy when an experienced student was paired with an inexperienced student for a group lab[11]. These aspects of the course all combined to create a culture that projected the implicit message thatthe focus of the study--a female student from a vocational high school--could not succeed in engineering.Lastly, studies have shown that students’ performance in CS is influenced by their learning strategies intheir introductory CS course, which are
