Engineering Education, 2021 Quantifying the impact of students’ semester course load on their academic performanceAbstractStudents’ academic success in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)careers is one of the most popular subjects that has gained attention among educationalresearchers for decades. Many studies have shown students’ educational outcomes can be affectedby academic factors including high school GPA, SAT score test, student admission type (transferor first-time-in-college), as well as demographic features such as gender, ethnicity, and familyincome. Additional studies have investigated the relationship between students’ course load andtheir academic outcomes. In this paper, we define

Early studies [10] examined the effect of students' characteristics and their interactions ontheir persistence. Other researchers [5] studied other factors like career goals and commitments.These studies are framed using many theoretical frameworks. One such framework is socialcognitive career theory (SCCT) [9], [11]. SCCT was developed to explain how

Introduction Demand for undergraduate Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) education continues to grow,driven by persistent need for professionals with technical skills. In addition to core technical knowledge,students embarking on a career in CSE must be ready to combine theory and practice in a context wherethe underlying technology continually changes, projects are large-scale and collaborative, and professionalresponsibility and ethics-based decision-making are critical when products are adopted widely. Manystudents seek hands-on industry internship experiences to complement their in-class instruction andprepare for these
