The results also showed that the retention rate for the School ofTechnology was 56.8%. Furthermore, the graduation rate for minorities needed to be increased.For example, out of 34 baccalaureate degrees issued in Engineering fields during the 2005-2006academic year, there were only five minority students - two African American, two

In other words,the dominant image active learning in American engineering education does not necessarily inferthat most American engineering schools and programs have adopted or developed active learningwell.

Learners interact with theirenvironment through exploration, object manipulation, contemplation of questions andcontroversies, and experimentation.

In summary, fastresearch is not often reflective research, and responsive research requires self-reflection.[43] Inorder to ensure culturally responsive research designs, qualitative researchers can: • In consultation with participants (where possible), develop and communicate a plan for managing data. • Develop materials for providing professional development to the research team and other relevant stakeholders, with explicit

Incontrast, resilient students would adopt adaptive behaviors, for example, persistence, planning,optimism, and self-determination, among others [8]. We argue that students with high levels ofresilience are better able to come back from initial academic stresses, while those who are lessresilient may decline in their academic performance, lose interest in their major, andconsequently consider dropping out of their engineering program.Measurement approachesAs noted above, resilience is most commonly defined as a

client and the design team. Similarly, many women in ​Invention andInnovation​ were reported to have been in charge of the business aspects of the project. Bothclient communication and business planning are introduced in these subsequent courses.Another explanation for the trend of women disproportionately taking on non-technical roles isbecause they lack technical confidence. This explanation corresponds to possibilities discussed inthe focus groups. Women in the focus group believe that women are more likely to take onnon-technical roles in teams because of three main factors: i) they feel that they do not haveenough technical experience to be useful to the team, ii) they are not asked by their malecounterparts to take on technical roles, or
