Recalling the Likert scale currently in use, the 1–4 on the horizontal axis are as follows:agree (1), tend to agree (2), tend to disagree (3), disagree (4).Next, we look for correlations between responses to different survey questions and also to coursegrade. Specifically, we calculated Spearman’s rank-order correlation coefficients r andcorresponding p-values for survey questions 2–10 and for students’ course grade. The nullhypothesis is that there is no monotonic association between the data (course grade and surveyquestion responses). The results are shown in Table 4. Responses for only a few questionsshowed moderate correlations, which

Participants were asked to provide demographic information, includinggender, years of engineering experience, the highest level of education, and engineering area(s)of expertise shown in Table 1. Practicing engineers' years of industry experience varied from 1year to 39 years, and the sample consisted of 26% female, 72% male, and 2% identified as other.As an incentive to take the concept inventory, the engineers were invited to participate in a $250raffle.

In addition,instructors could help students set clear and specific goals at the beginning of semester, becausegoal setting affects students’ initial self-efficacy beliefs for achieving the goal [11]. On the other hand, engineering undergraduate students’ test anxiety was not asignificantly negative predictor of their academic performance in a dynamics course, which isconsistent with Hsieh, et al.’s study finding [29]. The findings of the present study show that thepredictive power of test anxiety for academic performance in engineering education settings isdifferent from that in general academic settings.

purpose of this paper is to recommend adapting new pedagogical methods to theaccepted topics in an introductory probability and statistics course for engineeringundergraduates—methods that better match the learning characteristics of Millennial students inour courses. In a nutshell, those characteristics may be summarized as: (1) They want relevanceto their major, and future engineering career; (2) They want rationale (for the textbook selected,and for specific course policies and assignments); (3) They revel in technology (to collect data,compute, communicate, and multi-task); (4) They want a relaxed, hands-on environment; (5)They prefer instructors who rotate among several classroom delivery methods.Considering the “Five R‟s” learning
