It is not expected that a freshman – or even theaverage senior – will score at the “Accomplished” level. Rather, instructors must decidewhat level of performance is reasonable for students in their class, and assign gradesaccordingly: freshmen may be expected to perform somewhere between the “Beginning”and “Developing” level, for example, with seniors expected to perform consistently at the“Competent” level.

mechanism for ensuring course consistency was the course andsubordinate lesson objectives, as approved by the department program director. In all cases, theseobjectives were not altered, either to increase or reduce content.Using lesson objectives as the guiding parameter, lesson restructuring followed a generallyconsistent pattern. First, any lessons under the 40 class format that were “drop periods” (used toprovide students with compensatory time) were eliminated from the schedule. Additionally,lessons used as working group sessions for larger projects and laboratories were rolled intoadjacent lessons that presented new material. It should be noted that this action reduced workinggroup session time from 55 minutes to a shortened period as allowed

4,5,15,16.In engineering in particular, graduate education is highly understudied, and relies heavily onoutside disciplines to study graduate attrition. While it is likely that theories of socialization stillhold, and can be interpreted across disciplines, there are contextual differences in disciplinaryacademic culture that do not align well9,12,17. For example, reliable funding is one of the primarycauses for attrition in the humanities, although, as Crede and Borrego 18 note, this reasoning doesnot typically apply to graduate engineering students, who are upwards of 80% fully funded.Advisor relationships do still play a strong role in the attrition process, as does the laboratoryculture, since a student’s laboratory is like a family and plays
