Theuse of grades and GPA as a proxy for academic success have been used widely in a large numberof studies, and this study focuses on documenting how students’ grades fluctuate with time andthe role this play in students’ persistence. We apply Ordinary Least Squares and Ordinal Logisticregressions to a longitudinal database to identify the characteristics of that population. Thispopulation is a subset of the database and included 52,946 engineering students from 14 U.S.universities. In the United States there has been an urge to improve the number of engineeringgraduates in preparedness and numbers for over a decade [1] [2] [3].

First-year engineering students participated in a project-basedengineering design process curriculum with a service-learning component. Students wereassigned weekly reading materials to be discussed in-class using a four stage Flip-J process. Thestages were: 1) individual reading assignments outside of classroom; 2) in-class formation ofcollaborative expert groups; 3) in-class formation of cooperative Jigsaw groups and 4) in-classreflection exercises. More than 80% of the students indicated a productive experience from thecooperative learning strategy used. Students’ feedback also included recommendations

As a part ofthis survey, students rate certain aspects of the projects and course using a 5-point Likert scaleand are allowed to leave additional comments and suggestions for improvement. We analyzedthe end-of-semester survey results for the following five questions: The assignments associated with this course: 1) improved my engineering problem-solving skills. 2) improved my ability to communicate solutions to engineering problems. 3) provided me with a meaningful experience working on a diverse team. 4) helped me appreciate the multi-disciplinary nature of engineering. 5

the pilot study, we would like to ask students who havetaken the lessons in previous cohorts about how the lessons may have impacted them in theirfuture coursework, particularly their design courses. During informal conversations withstudents, at least two have mentioned to the GTA how their outlook on design has beeninfluenced by #FunTimesWithTheTA. Students noted that they took design principles learned in#FunTimesWithTheTA and applied them to their senior design projects. Given the small size ofour initial subject pool, we find these positive comments very encouraging.Acknowledgements: We would like to thank Ms. Attiyya Houston for designing our logo.References[1] C.
