These spaces have become quite popular in conjunctionwith engineering programs at academic institutions through recent years [2]. Due to theirpopularity, engineering education researchers have sought to understand best practices and culturalnorms for these spaces, the effects of

By contrast,women’s representation in the engineering workforce has been steadily increasing since the1990’s, from 8.6% in 1993 to 14.5% in 2015 [1]. However, according to statistics from 2010,within five years of graduation, 36 percent of women who obtained engineering bachelor’sdegrees either left or never entered the field and within fifteen years after graduation, 60 percentof women who earned engineering bachelor’s degrees had left the field [2]. Despite the recentincreases, these numbers indicate that women are still underrepresented in the workforce and thatretention of women engineers in

It explores also the currently most-favored pedagogical model for teachingdesign, namely: Project-Based Learning (PBL). The paper identifies several contexts for PBL,along with some available data on it success.

Practice Exam Program Impact on Student Academic Performance and Student RetentionIntroduction. Retention of students in engineering programs continues to be a concern as schoolstry to increase enrollments and graduates. Retention rates in engineering from first to secondyear are the lowest among majors [1] and persistence to second year is only around 80%, worsefor some ethnic groups (2017 Engineering by the Numbers, ASEE Retention and Time-To-Graduation Benchmarks for Undergraduate Engineering Schools). This is due to a variety offactors including a challenging curricula, high credit loads, and students taking only a smallnumber of courses in their major the first year.It was recognized that college exams, especially for
