with Survival AnalysisSurvival Analysis, STEM, NELSAbstractIdentifying potential students and understanding what affects their decision to depart the track ofobtaining a college degree in engineering is critical to engineering educational research. Thisstudy used data from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988-2000 (NELS) todevelop a model for predicting post-secondary educational outcomes with particular focus onstudents earning a college degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM).The objective was to identify factors that affected the probability of a given student “surviving”on the STEM track past a key time point in the study at which most students attending collegewere

I believe after the whole process,I have learned a lot.”—JohnCommercial AwarenessAs can be seen from John’s case, in addition to considerations of the technological aspects ofproblem-solving, students showed the awareness to estimate the cost of the solutions, to understandthe needs of consumers, and even the profitability of engineering products. Such awareness of thecommercial aspects of engineering projects were further demonstrated in other students’ PBLlearning activities,“You needed to put forward something new, something that hasn’t

In order to be able to approach these challenges, students need to be able to thinkcritically, communicate effectively, and solve complex problems 4.
