, Economics and Ethics, Engineering Thermodynamics,Electrical Circuits, Fluid Mechanics, and Material and Energy Balances. Students are madeaware of SI sessions by the class instructor. SIs often attend classes and make an effort to bevisible. The SI program has contributed to the increased 4-year graduation rate of 22% andincreased 6-year graduation rates of 17% over the past 10 years. The persistence from first yearto second year in the College has increased 11% over the past 12 years. Upon further studies,there were increased concerns in correlating students' academic performance to SI sessionattendance. Research links students’ success to their science identity and self-efficacy [10].Science identity pertains to a dynamic perspective of oneself
