have to work really hard.” Ashley began thinking about whether she wanted tograduate in four or five years and if she would take classes or intern over the summer. STEP alsohelped her realize that “you don’t particularly have to be intelligent or less intelligent tounderstand concepts. You’re just going to have to try harder.” With regards to interest andenjoying engineering, she believed she would better enjoy engineering since she now had“experience in these classes” and would be more comfortable since she “understand[s] theamount of work” required. With regards to caring, STEP convinced Ashley that the college caresabout her academically and personally. Specifically, the center director led her to believe that “Ifyou’re willing to help

Theeffect analysis uses the same methods as the undergraduate research effect study.The effect evaluation of the course harmonization effort consists of an analysis of first-attemptpass rates in a number of courses taken by transfers from community colleges to Grove, whotook the pre-requisite course(s) in their previous school. We compared the pass rates in follow-up courses before and after harmonization of the pre-requisite and follow-up course in
the initial and final (DREAM Day) I.I.’s were included in theanalysis. Comparing the DREAM Day data from KIPP mentees to the control taken post-DREAM showed that mentees outscored non-mentees on all four questions of interest(Q1,Q2,Q4,Q5). Interestingly, non-mentees post-scores were significantly higher than menteespre-scores on Q1 (74.1% versus 54.8%) and Q4 (70.4% versus 50.0%), suggesting that DREAMmay be attracting mid or lower performing students at KIPP. Differences between non-menteespost-scores and mentees pre-scores were not significant on Q2 and Q5. 100 100 AHS 78.3 80.8

, all four teams ordered the parts and started working onthe projects in the second and third weeks of July. Since the MTSU campus was closed and theCOVID-19 cases surged in the summer, the students collaborated remotely using slack, Zoom,text messages, Discord, etc. Because the project involved writing code, some students also set upGitHub repositories in order to collaborate and perform version control. The faculty mentorshelped the students along the way by holding regularly status meetings and answering theirquestions.4.

This paper describes what happensfrom year to year and how retention and ultimately graduation are predicted by not onlystudent entry characteristics, but also institutional and departmental characteristics.2. A New Admission CriterionIn an earlier publication2 where we studied a cohort of engineering students who startedin the fall of 1999, we found that retention of transfer students was best predicted by theentry characteristics "number of math and science credits transferred", grade pointaverage at the previous school(s), and choice of major (Electrical Engineering studentswere retained most, Computer Science students least).

This will allow students to becomeaccustomed to the wording and format of the FE exam problems.There are many resources available to help students prepare for the FE exam. The NCEES offerssample examinations and diagnostic tools prepared by engineering professionals, which arereviewed annually and revised as needed. Other commercial FE review books and softwarepackages are available for students, such as those provided by

The remaining 3 arestill undecided on their major but has Engineering in their top 3 choices of studies. Thestudents offered a number of reasons for their decision of Engineering. • My parent(s) are making me study engineering • They are studying Engineering because of the chance of making a lot of money • They enjoy the subjects science and mathematics • Engineering offers a host of well paid careers • Engineering allows you to put your creativity to the test every day • Because engineering is an international activity, professional engineers often have the opportunity to

Students that need a co or prerequisite waiver should request a letter from the Department Chair or the U.G. program director who will approve the request with input from the appropriate faculty member(s). Only under exceptional circumstances will a pre-requisite waiver be granted. Faculty members are encouraged to take advantage of the advisement meeting with the student to accomplish the rest of the student advising objectives (monitoring, mentoring, and information). The advising information form promotes discussion about student concerns and helps the advisor monitor student performance
