Occasionally these problems would be administered through Kahoot! with prizes for students who performed best. ● Test Prep - Mock exams and timed challenge problems, usually given within the week before a major exam in engineering or math.The fall quarter provided the students with thirty-five SI session opportunities with winter andspring providing twenty-five and twenty-three, respectively.

However, there are many more degree programs and graduates inEnvSci, increasing competition for those jobs. As well, EnvE graduates can often take EnvScijobs, should they choose to do so.Thus, previous research points to a variety of factors that impact students decisions about whichcollege majors they choose to enroll in, and factors that may impact their persistence. However,it is unclear the extent to which these factors are important to the pathways of students withinitially strong interests in both environmental issues and engineering. In particular, there is alack of strong information about persistence

As a result, some of the mostsignificant work for the NACA was being performed at Stanford. Stanford asked for$330,000 and received $195,000 which was funded simultaneously with Caltech so theschools would not compete for students if one received funds before the other.

At its core, the Comm Lab is a STEM-specific writing center wherestudents can meet face-to-face with a peer knowledgeable in their discipline to get feedback onSTEM writing and communication genres. On the organizational level, however, the Comm Labis distinguished by its emphasis on adaptation of structure and services to the desired institutionalcontext. Thus, our research asks which features of the Comm Lab can or should be adapted innew institutional contexts and which features must be retained across contexts to make iteffective.
