In this paper, I investigatethe retention rate and calculus readiness for homeschooled students entering the School ofEngineering and Computer Science as compared with their non-homeschooled peers.In this study, I hypothesized that homeschooled students might have a different likelihood tosucceed in engineering school compared to their non-homeschooled peers. The results of the datastudy support this hypothesis and suggest that homeschooled students are more likely than othersto succeed in engineering school, with retention in

A common reason for student interest in the course is motivation to make apositive contribution to society. Table II. Representative comments from student reflections on HuskyADAPT course “…it was wonderful to work on a project that individuals have a real need for. Many of my design experiences have involved hypothetical end products that don't necessarily benefit its potential users.” “I really enjoyed the difficulty of the challenges presented to me in this project.

Theproblem is the same level of difficulty as the module assessment, so it serves as practice (hencethe name ‘rehearsal’). The rehearsal exam environment is the same as recitation—theinstructional staff are all there, students work in groups, and students can use their notes andexamples.The last 10 minutes of the rehearsal exam period are spent peer grading another student’srehearsal exam.

We found that even when positions did not include “engineer” in the job title,many alumni remained in engineering-related sectors or reported that their positions were relatedto engineering. We also leveraged Sankey diagrams to represent the “flow” of individuals acrossdifferent positions. These diagrams revealed the breadth of career pathways, with alumni movinginto and out of engineering positions. Second, we performed a content analysis on write-inresponses in which alumni expanded upon their survey answers. Within the interpretive limits ofthe data, we observed two general ways in which alumni framed their careers. In “positive”presentations

Reflective Activity on Participants’ Own College Experience At the beginning of the workshop, we asked the participants to take several minutes to write a reflection of their own educational experience. The goal in this exercise was two-fold: 1) to allow instructors to remember their own experiences or difficulties in maneuvering the educational system and 2) to recognize that their experience may be dramatically different than their current students. Reflection has been used in educational settings for decades as a way to solidify information, but reflection on the part of the instructors is less common. There are

Specifically, the student engineers participating in a seminar course wererequired to read and reflect in writing on Prey by Michael Crichton [3].
