The overarching objective of this project is to identify the kinds of scholarshipreadily accepted into the field of engineering education research through peer review processes,and the kinds that are not. By identifying what approaches, topics, theoretical frameworks, andmethodologies are accepted and not accepted through the peer review process, the field can bemore open to

entitled The Analytics Revolution in Postsecondary education [30],calls for postsecondary institutions to harness the analytics revolution to improve studentsuccess. The other is a joint statement released in 2019 by three US organizations within U.S.postsecondary education communities (The Association for Institutional Research (AIR),EDUCAUSE, and the National Association of College and University Business Officers),expresses a strong sense of urgency to reaffirm postsecondary education’s commitment to theuse of data and analytics to make better strategic decisions [31]. Data analytics has arisen from existing, well-established practices within postsecondaryinstitutions carried out by data-oriented professionals in the areas of
thePAs and TAs. They attempt to determine if the program was going well and solicit feedback onthe program during implementation (Resp. rate = 55%, N=125). Next, a survey was distributed tothe PLAs to determine the program impacts on PLAs and their opinions of the program (Resp.rate = 60%, N=9) in Fall 2019. Finally, aggregate non-identifiable end-of-term grade data wasgathered and compared between semesters to determine pass/no-pass rates (N=7).Student Rating of Teaching Surveys (SRTs)SRTs are a standard method of rating every course at the University of Minnesota. They provideresponses to general questions about a course. For example, did the course foster a deeperunderstanding of the subject matter, improve student interest in the subject
