computing andeach requires a different skill set. It seems like people in these fields have a preference for beingtaught differently. Is it possible to predict in which computing discipline an incoming freshmanwould succeed based on their learning style? Previous research has shown a correlation betweenlearning style and academic success, but does this correlation also exist for computingstudents?In the 1970s, David Kolb developed a model to represent learning styles. His model works on atwo-axis system: concrete experience (CE) versus abstract conceptualization (AC), and reflectiveobservation (RO) versus active experimentation (AE). The x-axis, AE−RO, differentiatesbetween students who learn by doing or by seeing results, and those who prefer to

, to see what percentage of students were retained one year after starting at ouruniversity based on their first mathematics course, we collected data for all first year engineeringstudents in Fall 2010 (𝑛 = 865). Transfer students and continuing students were not included inthis study. The data were collected from the university’s student information system andincluded their major in Fall 2010, the mathematics course they took that semester, their finalgrade in that course, gender, race, and declared major one year later. Students were consideredretained if their major was still in an engineering discipline at the end of their third semester (oneyear after they completed their first semester at the university).

This first wave of initiatives was critically assessed, andengineering student success became a focal point for the CoE. Internal research conducted underthis grant exposed numerous roadblocks that impeded students' academic success. In 2010,another large grant, funded through the National Science Foundation Science Talent ExpansionProgram (STEP), was awarded to increase the numbers of students graduating with STEMdegrees.
