A departmental strategyfor continuation of this program after expiration of the grant will also be explored.IntroductionAt the University of Southern Indiana (USI), and throughout the nation, post-secondary science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs are having difficulty with the recruitingand retention of students. The National Science Foundation (NSF) created the STEM TalentExpansion Program (STEP) grants to help devise ways to address these issues. USI received agrant from the NSF in 2008 to take a 4-pronged approach towards increasing the number ofSTEM graduates in our region. The funds are being used to engage STEM majors in earlyundergraduate research, to provide more intensive academic advising to at-risk STEM

score.IntroductionThe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)1 Engineering Criteria 2000requires engineering students should “be able to function effectively in a multidisciplinary team”.The question is: how can students’ team skills be taught and assessed2,3,4? In a previous study,we defined student’s team skills through a three-construct theoretical model: interdependency,goal setting and potency. This model entails possible application in both pedagogy andassessment. Peer evaluation has been used as an effective instrumentation tool to assess students’team skills and performance5,6,7,8,9. We developed a 9-item peer evaluation questionnaire tomeasure student’s individual perceptions on their teammates along our three-constructstheoretical

students’ dropouts.State of the Art of the Problem of Adapting of Engineering FreshmenPersonal Challenges in transition of a person to the level of higher education are usually causedby the lack of adequate motivation. For example, D. Chubin [5, 10] notes that in the United Statesstudents show weak interest to math and science. The similar problems are observed in othercountries [6 - 9].Academic Challenges are associated with insufficient grounding of entrants in STEM complex(Science- Technology-Engineering-Mathematics), and of their difficult adapting to new forms ofteaching in a university. As a result, the high level of expulsion of 1-st year students (freshmen)is observed. Authors [5-8] note that the increase of dropout rate of students is
