It is likely that each individual studentpossesses a different understanding of the engineering profession, as

The prompted conversations were initiated by the programcoordinator, who articulated a brief question or statement asking students to reflect on key aspectsof their undergraduate research experiences, including:  students’ expectations and goals for participating in the program  students’ goals for their research projects  ways to handle research obstacles  lessons students learned through research  students’ future goals and plans related to research, graduate study and careers Page 23.580.4Other than posting these initial conversational prompts/questions

andlearning center. There are two ways to approach this overlap. The first is to make the ASEEprogramming unique. On large campuses, some Chapters have found success in providingSTEM-specific content as a supplement to the campus-level content for all majors. The secondapproach is to partner with other organization(s). This approach has extra benefits; it exposesASEE and its mission to the members of other organizations and it can provide extra assistancefor planning and execution. For research-specific programming, some campuses have foundsuccess with ASEE-hosted STEM education poster sessions. While almost 90% of therespondents reported having some campus-level teaching programming, at least 65% reportedthat they are interested in ASEE providing

The exam was created through Pearson’s MyMathTestwhich uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to adapt a study plan based on the student’s correct andincorrect answers. The administrators customized the exam to test students on math topics thatwere considered important in order to successfully pass the engineering course. The assessmentwas given to students on their first week of school and was

Butgraduate student funding eventually dries up, graduate students are not equally listened to and creditedwhen they take on service and activist roles, and graduate school is frankly a difficult place with highworkload and low pay that you don’t want to stay forever.

as valuable in engaging community voices, the literature suggeststhat an effective organizer will not work entirely within one approach or the other, but insteaduse a blend of both to best accommodate the particular context of a project[15]. This blendedapproach becomes the most useful for community organizers, who now have the dexterity toadapt their plan to changing situations. A flexible approach is also beneficial in standardengineering practice because an effective engineer will know how to adapt their approach for thenature of a specific project — an idea that contradicts the tendency for engineers to follow aconsistent framework that can be applied to all projects[16].In addition to a flexible approach, community organizing can

After being acceptedinto a major, students may still doubt if they want to study engineering or if their major alignswith their interests and future career plans. While research has been conducted on this processstudents face and what factors can affect the decision of their major, research is lacking onstudents who are not accepted into their major, disrupting students’ planned paths intoengineering and jeopardizing their future as an engineer.

Study results showed thatalthough GTAs could not be directly tied to retention they had a large amount of control overclassroom climate, which in turn did impact retention rates. Moreover, students cited GTAenthusiasm and attitude as facilitating the students‟ learning.
