The program was modified in 2004 and is now known as the Scholarships in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) Program. The CSEMS Program supportsacademically talented students, financially needy students for study in the “targeted disciplines”of computer science, engineering, and mathematics; the S-STEM program will additionallysupport study in other natural sciences. Although metrics of financial need are established by thefederal government, participating institutions interpret thresholds for academic merit andfinancial need based on local circumstances.

Page 25.1099.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Real-time monitoring of student procrastination in a PSI first-year programming courseAbstractProcrastination is the intentional deferment of a scheduled task and is most often attributed (bythe procrastinator) to a lack of available time prior to a deadline. Although the impact of theprocrastination on student learning is widely debated, it has been correlated with a lack ofexternal (or self) regulation, motivation, and performance anxiety. These contributors stand incontrast to the commonly asserted issue: lack of time. A lecture-centric course provides limitedobservations for evaluating actual student
