Several tend to pursuegraduate degrees in areas other than STEM. The retention rates of graduates in the STEM fields are notthriving as strongly as other fields of study. The purpose of this study is to investigate effectivementoring practices that helped undergraduate students in STEM develop successful career paths intograduate school in STEM fields.

that the course work and the size of each of the programs are similar.The study has not found a significant correlation with standardized test scores and success levelsin engineering and technology courses. Rather, it has become apparent that success is morelikely to breed success. Students who score low on placement tests and then do well in remedialcoursework are more likely to find success throughout their college careers. Conversely,students who score well on placement exams and do not perform well in their initial mathcoursework continue to struggle with grades. Based on this information, increasing entranceexam requirements may not increase retention rates but instead limit access.Introduction:Generally, in order to apply for entrance

In an interview, the Assistant to the Chemistry and ChemicalEngineering Scientific Direction at IPL stated that she and her faculty “…do not perceive theAmerican students to be at a lower level than the French students.” Other French professors,such as Dr. Peiere Monkham and Dr. Muriel de Montigny, remarked that they believed thesame. They noticed that on the whole, however, the American students did not have the samepractical (i.e. in-lab) experience that French students would have by the same point in theiracademic careers, and that American engineering education tended to be more theoretical.

. Previous research supports science self-efficacy asbeing positively associated with achieving science literacy (Bryan, Glynn, & Kittleson, 2011)and science achievement (Britner & Pajares, 2001). This study examines if exposing students toyoung model “engineering experts” would impact middle schoolers’ science self-efficacy. If so,the motivation for k-12 teachers to invite engineers into their classroom is two fold. It increasesstudents’ awareness of engineering careers as well as increases student’s achievement in science.But would such a short intervention have an impact?

lure of high salaries from the expansive local industry pulls most of our students away fromgraduate school. The average starting salary for the most recent graduates with a B.S. in chemicalengineering from LSU was ~$76,000 per year. We believe this is one reason less than 3% of ourstudents enroll in graduate programs. This (low level) graduate school enrollment trend is similarfor other regional institutions. In the last decade we have had only moderate success at recruitingengineering, physics, and chemistry undergraduates from these regional schools to enroll in aSTEM Ph.D. program.
