Educational Research and Methods

, 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

Paper ID #13107Constructing ”calculus readiness”: Struggling for legitimacy in a diversity-promoting undergraduate engineering programKevin O’Connor, University of Colorado Boulder Kevin O’Connor is assistant professor of educational psychology. 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
