serious about their learning andcareer goals but who, for some reason, chose to opt out of engineering).Tobias assertsthat many traditional science courses suffer from lack of community( both betweenthe instructor and the students and among the students themselves) and that manystudents desire this relationship and become more successful learners when itprevails in the classroom. She further states that many students would respond betterto science if interactive and cooperative modes of learning replace the competitiveenvironment that is sometimes present in science and engineering classes.

American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Failure rates in engineering –does it have to do with class size?ABSTRACTNot everyone is meant to be an engineer, but more could be. The failure rate for engineeringstudents is unparalleled at San Jose State University. A staggering 40% of students inengineering do not make it through the first year and of those who make it, 30% would fail inmany of its fundamental courses. Engineering is not, nor should it be, an easy program.Traditionally, many researchers have argued that the primary reason why students fail in thesecourses is a lack of preparedness for the high level of academic rigors in engineering. While theaverage college course requires 2 hours of outside study for every one
