IntroductionThe role of introductory courses in engineering is commonly acknowledged to be extremelyimportant for student engagement as well as retention.4 The introductory courses in engineeringgenerally serve the purpose of raising student awareness about engineering careers and theengineering curriculum while trying to excite and motivate them by using hands-on activities,projects, etc. The core learning objectives of the introductory courses involve activities thatentail application and understanding rather than higher level cognitive outcomes involving Page 24.854.2design and analysis.

The prestige and reputation of Rose-Hulman attracted me to Terre Haute, Indiana as well as the opportunities it offered. All things considered, it seemed like the right decision to forgo my hometown college and venture away from home to pursue an excellent edu- cation. During my tenure at Rose-Hulman, I was a four-year varsity letter winner on the Swimming and Diving Team. I was voted as a team captain by my teammates for both my Junior and Senior campaigns.

The value is 812 with 399 degrees of freedom andp-value < 0.001. These scores are acceptable (p-value <= 0.05). However, the Chi Square valuemay not accurately reflect the fit to the model when the sample size is large, the data is notnormal, or there are a large number of items.

Were expectations for exams more clear for students in CEE 3110 as compared to the comparison group? 3.

However, since theadvent of engineering design in pre-college milieus, researchers, educators, and curriculumdevelopers alike have been brooding over ways to introduce this equivocal subject into the k-12realm.
