Thiscorresponds to an average normalized (Hake) gain12 G of 0.79; in other words, students achievedon average 79% of their possible learning gain on this assessment instrument.As is customary with concept inventories, learning gains were somewhat more modest asmeasured by the MCI, with average scores increasing from 44% pre to 61% post, an averageincrease of 18%, and a normalized gain G of 0.32. Although this indicates that only one-third ofthe potential gain in conceptual understanding was realized on average, these results comparefavorably with those reported by others for the MCI.

Successful development of an engineering identity is reflected by professional persistence. Work by Lichtenstein et al found that a minority percentage (42%) of seniors definitively planned on 12pursuing an engineering related career following graduation. Undergraduate engineering programs must try to do better to foster engineering identity development so that professional persistence is improved and the workforce is provided a steady stream of capable degreed engineers from a variety of

progress through theSTEM pipeline also depends on the types of opportunities, experiences, and support studentsreceive while in college (Chang, Eagan, Lin, & Hurtado, 2011; Espinosa, 2011). “Theeducational experience and the culture of the discipline (as reflected in the attitudes and practicesof faculty) make a much greater contribution to [STEM] attrition than the individualinadequacies of students or the appeal of other majors” (Chang, Sharkness, Hurtado, & Newman,2014). In addition to the academic and social supports deemed essential for studentpersistence and transfer, there appear to be some specific recommendations that encourageSTEM students in particular to persist, transfer, and ultimately complete a STEM degree

For people over the age of 65,one of the most serious health care risks is falling. This is the leading cause of death for this agegroup! For those that survive a fall, many will suffer hip fractures. Even with successful surgery,about 40% of those hospitalized for a hip fracture cannot return to independent living, and,amazingly enough, about 20% will die within a year!
