Education: New Perspectives on a Student-centered Metric of SuccessAbstract. Retention in undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)programs is a national problem. Although many studies have attempted to identify characteristicsof students at high risk of attrition and other interventions to aid these populations, few haveadequately questioned the metric of success itself: retention. To be specific, “retention” tracks onlythe percentage of students who begin their undergraduate career in a chosen major and successfullymatriculate, which may be too coarse of a measure for several reasons: (1) it counts as successesstudents who remain in an initially chosen STEM major, but flounder, (2) it counts as failuresstudents

GPAs for science and math versus engineering majors.IntroductionAdequate high school preparation in science and math is integral for both high performance inSTEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) classes in college (e.g. [3,4]) and STEMmajor retention (e.g. [5,6]). Students from less academically challenging high schools areparticularly vulnerable to lower college performance and retention, because STEM collegecourses, which require critical thinking and problem solving, are very different from science andmath classes at weaker high schools [7]. Underprepared students are also more likely to be taughtscience and math by teachers underqualified in STEM and are less likely to have access tochallenging math and science courses in high

valley and broaden the use of evidence-based practices in engineering classrooms. In the majority of cases, these efforts are focused on particular interventions, e.g. encouraging instructors to incorporate in-class group problem solving or to use a particular technology tool3. While the particular intervention may prove useful for some instructors and some courses, it is not always chosen with the needs or challenges of the instructor in mind. We argue that efforts to broaden use of innovative instructional techniques can be more successful when faculty have ownership of how change is implemented in their classes (rather than having strategies mandated). Higher education faculty members do have significant autonomy in their teaching, and we
