, criticalthinking, and information retention. A study by the National Academy of Engineering (2005)recommends learning environments that foster problem solving, student engagement andcollaboration. Research has shown that using student-centered active learning strategies in theclassroom leads to enhanced learning (Benson et al., 2010). According to Towner (2017),engineering education must be re-evaluated to increase “value added time” in the classroom.Therefore, it is important to incorporate teaching methods that provide more opportunities forstudent learning and development of critical skills.Based on information provided in existing literature, three different in-class instructionalmethods were evaluated in college classrooms in Canada and the United

Using “degree earned in six years or less” to label students asretained makes over half the dataset unusable. First and second year retention are options, butthese can have both false positives and false negatives. Using a data science pipeline, weanalyzed the number of consecutive non-enrolled terms, referred to as enrollment gaps, andfound that the best short-term criteria is “three consecutive semesters not enrolled inengineering.” With this criterion, we can reliably label a given student as not-retained. Theproposed retention threshold approach has the following
