of the46 following four areas: academic and career advising, high school preparation, engineering structure and47 curriculum, and faculty relations[9]. This paper focuses on faculty relations because, historically, 148 universities have relegated retention issues to staff and advisors. The importance of faculty influence on49 student retention is an under-researched and under-explored area. Specifically, faculty relations can be50 shaped through specific teaching practices instructors can use to increase student retention. Research51 supports the claim that student-professor relationships are vital in promoting the success of engineering52 students [10], [11]. One

ways, if any, do student understandings change between their first and second years?Broader Project BackgroundThis analysis used an existing data set generated as part of a larger project that encompasses sixuniversities across three countries. Member institutions are equally distributed, two each fromthe United States, United Kingdom, and South Africa. The research team for this project includesfaculty and graduate students from all three countries, with direct representation from five of thesix included institutions. The objective of the project is to capture various aspects of the studentexperience over the course of a student’s undergraduate career and is thus a longitudinalundertaking beginning in the first year and ending with the

sophomore level chemical engineering students. This classwas designed to include many game-based activities. Because of these factors, it is uncertainhow transferrable these results may be to other classroom environments, and these results maynot be generalizable to other student populations. This class contained more males than females;therefore, male reflections had more of an impact on the overall top three themes identifiedwhere there was a difference in perceptions between males and females.ConclusionsEffective communication is an important aspect to any field, including engineering. Withoutproficient communication skills, catastrophic events can occur and a successful industry career isunlikely. However, many engineering graduates do not have

lab studying solar energy.Learner-centered altruism sometimes means helping students with problems outside the course,such as finding an internship and preparing application materials. One faculty member took apoll of seniors and discovering their concern about the future (both entering graduate school andindustry) chose to implement a series of workshops in their course rather than overburdeningstudents with content. This faculty member implemented workshops designed to bring outsidespeakers with advice and knowledge the students felt as though they lacked (determined throughthe survey). Workshops allowed students to ask questions and gain advice from experts in areassuch as graduate admissions, industry hiring practices, and startup
