computing andeach requires a different skill set. It seems like people in these fields have a preference for beingtaught differently. Is it possible to predict in which computing discipline an incoming freshmanwould succeed based on their learning style? Previous research has shown a correlation betweenlearning style and academic success, but does this correlation also exist for computingstudents?In the 1970s, David Kolb developed a model to represent learning styles. His model works on atwo-axis system: concrete experience (CE) versus abstract conceptualization (AC), and reflectiveobservation (RO) versus active experimentation (AE). The x-axis, AE−RO, differentiatesbetween students who learn by doing or by seeing results, and those who prefer to

, to see what percentage of students were retained one year after starting at ouruniversity based on their first mathematics course, we collected data for all first year engineeringstudents in Fall 2010 (𝑛 = 865). Transfer students and continuing students were not included inthis study. The data were collected from the university’s student information system andincluded their major in Fall 2010, the mathematics course they took that semester, their finalgrade in that course, gender, race, and declared major one year later. Students were consideredretained if their major was still in an engineering discipline at the end of their third semester (oneyear after they completed their first semester at the university). Data was matched and

timethey first met as a group, the division of tasks was very clear. Although James, the highschool junior, took it upon himself to lead the group and coordinate the tasks and assignmembers to each task, the other members did not necessarily follow his lead. Once thetasks were divided, and subsequently the team into sub teams or individual work, thepower dynamics changed. Every sub team and individuals were observed working on atask independently, and without asking for any assistance. The members working on eachtask seemed to possess enough knowledge to complete the tasks on their own, without anyguidance or direction from others.

Alexandra comes to FIU after completing a postdoctoral fellowship at Georgia Tech’s Center for the En- hancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL) and three years as a faculty member at Olin College of En- gineering in Massachusetts. Alexandra’s research aims to improve the design of educational experiences for students by critically examining the work and learning environments of practitioners. Specifically, she focuses on (1) how to design and change educational and work systems through studies of practicing engineers and educators and (2) how to help students transition into, through and out of educational and

His scholarship focuses on human ac- tion, communication, and learning as socioculturally organized phenomena. One major strand of research has explored the varied trajectories taken by students as they attempt to enter professional disciplines such as engineering, and focuses on the dilemmas encountered by students as they move through these institutionalized trajectories
