In this study, the learners' performance was evaluated and data wasgathered from them via a questionnaire. Based on the data collected, the efficacy of the POGILis evaluated through comparative analysis using statistical test.

This is the “winding down stage” and the members start to disengage from “group think” back to “individual think”.Our students, when formed into a formal group, seem to follow these stages but slightlymodified. Our student groups are, by definition, temporary groups. Their time together isseldom more than a semester and usually much less. For these groups forming happens atthe first meeting and since they have a defined short term project, their direction is usuallyset quickly.

In fact, the assertion appears even more fitting given the noticeablecongruence between the academic rigor of engineering programs and Ignelzi’s observation thatstudents often face educational challenges which exceed the academic support they receive.

It exploresstudents' learning experiences, attitudes, and challenges in pre-engineering at a publicuniversity in Michigan. College access and success are some of the most pressing issuesconfronting the United States in post-secondary education. This work aims to address andinvestigate the barriers perceived by students while entering pre-engineering, understand theirexperiences during the program and examine pre-engineering through professors' andacademic advisors' lenses.
