They are focused on bringingindustry representatives into the classroom or into other aspects of students’ academicexperience, either directly through guest speakers and panelists or indirectly through thedevelopment of relevant modules/problem sets that reference professional practice.

The game also offers support or prompts to encourage progresswithin the game. While the overarching problem is the same for every student, the path they taketo reach the solution will vary drastically.The proposed PING system combines techniques of statistical inference, cognitive psychology,education research, sensor informatics, and machine learning techniques to provide students apersonalized education process.

inengineering.The RStudio integrated development environment was used to perform the statistical analysis [8]. All statistical tests were conductedwith an alpha=0.05. A standard t-test is used to compare means. For the odds ratio estimate, the Fisher’s Exact Test for Count Datafrom the R-“stats” package is used[8]. The cohen.d function from the EffSize package estimates the effect size for all t-tests[9]. Thisis a measure of the strength of the difference between means and we use d ≤ 0.2 for a small (S) effect, 0.2 < d ≤ 0.8 is considered amedium (M) effect, and d > 0.8 is a large effect [9]. The statistical power is also estimated using the “pwr” package in R using defaultvalues for all non-required parameters [10]. A comparison of means is

changingfrom 6 to 1 and 7 to 5 for F’16 and S’17, respectively [14].There appears to be general consensus in the literature that a CURE pedagogy leads to positivelyinfluencing students about their choice of major, thereby possibly increasing retention. There isalso an expectation that it encourages more female students to enroll in graduate school. Theauthors’ specific findings indicate a positive impact of research experiences on graduateenrollment. Given these findings, the following research questions were formed with respect tothe industrial engineering major: 1. Does having a CURE experience inspire more female industrial engineering students to stay in the major? 2. Does having a CURE experience inspire more female industrial engineer
