His passion is analyzing institutional data related to student academic factors, psycho-social factors collected using surveys, and demographics to uncover factors impacting student success that could be used in strategic decision making. Some of the current projects have an objective of finding differences among the FTIC and Transfer student population at UCF with respect to student success and engagement metrics, factors impacting retention, graduation and time to graduation.

Among the college’s projects under this initiative were trainingworkshops for various key audiences, including engineering faculty, advising staff, and graduatestudents (for their work as TAs). With workshop topics including such complex and sensitiveones as suicide, the college staff person who was charged with the mental health initiativerecognized the need to bring in expertise from the counseling center.

It also seeks to understand whether a simpleclassroom intervention that forces the student to think about the prosocial value of thecourse material can improve their beliefs about the profession, and in turn, their persistenceintensions. 46.

Geotechnicalengineering projects are designed and analyzed based on data available at a particular site, whichin turn are subject to quality and budget considerations. Two project sites are highly unlikely toshare the same subsurface conditions1,2,3.

Interestingly, both the enjoyment of math and the enjoyment of science appear in thislist, indicating that many of the students do understand the reality that engineers focus theirstudies in mathematics and science.For Question 3, the most frequently mentioned codes prominently refer to people who wereinfluential to the student’s decision to pursue engineering.

. Yet muchremains to be learned about how to hone MOOCs into cost-effective tools that provide valuewithout overly burdening a cost-sensitive public education system. This paper provides insightinto the issue by reporting on the efforts of California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (CalPoly Pomona) to scale-up a MOOC from a small $8000 pilot project. The pilot MOOC was a 10-week introduction to computer programming course that took place during Spring 2014 and wasopen to everyone in the world for free. Over 2100 participants enrolled in the pilot MOOC with16% successfully completing the course. Results from the pilot MOOC were reported in theProceedings of the 2015 ASEE Annual Conference.A scaled-up version of the pilot MOOC took place
