Additionally, looking at eachvariable individually allows us to use the most data since records with missing data must bedeleted listwise. In other words, a student cannot be included in the regression if they aremissing any of the variables in that regression. The coefficient, β , can be used to calculate thelog of the odds of an event (eq. 1). Positive values indicate that the presence of one unit increaseof the variable increases the likelihood of the event. In this case, the event of interest isgraduation. log(odds of event)=β 0 + β x

The events focused on discussions to identify opportunities for engineering faculty to collaborate with faulty from other units to develop interdisciplinary curriculum in the areas of professional skills, social justice, humanitarian practice, peace, and sustainability. We characterize these events as Collaborative Leadership since we needed to provide a forum for different faculty to meet and begin to develop their

AbstractThe ‘Changing Futures Project’ aimed to directly tackle an issue that has been long reportedin both academic and professional body spheres, that of student failure in engineering education[1,2] . It focused on the experiences of 96 Engineering & Applied Science students who wereclassified as ‘failing’ or ‘trailing’ in one or more modules. One of the unforeseen outcomes ofthe project was the high numbers of students who reported that they had been experiencingmental health problems at the time when they found themselves failing.

Technical andprofessional communication genres and strategies are defined by their context and purpose in theworkplace (Hart-Davidson, 2001). Engineering students who understand how technicalcommunication works and deploy its strategies typically add three kinds of value to a technicalproject by effectively 1) designing documents that convey information in usable forms, 2)working with and refining collaborative practices to maximize collaborative output, and 3)recognizing patterns and structures across specific problems or projects as well as providingstrategic thinking that can productively impact large systems and data sets

Engineering is a complex degree program because many studentshave to start preparing for this degree while in high school by building up their mathematics andscience knowledge. For engineering students to start an engineering degree program, they startwith calculus, and are considered behind schedule starting with a lower level mathematicscourse. Although high school students may start planning for an engineering degree programduring their freshman to senior years, many students do not know what the different disciplinesof engineering are and what they do. In Changing the Conversation 1, they show that many highschool students do not have a realistic comprehension of the practice of engineering

Of all students who matriculated with an engineering interest at theThayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College over a 4-year period, 27% are minoritystudents. A significant proportion (39%) of these students were underprepared in mathematics(defined by the level of introductory mathematics course in which they placed), compared toonly 21% of non-minority students. As we will show below, engineering dropout rates aresignificantly higher for students who are underprepared in mathematics, and we indeed see theeffects of being underprepared for our underrepresented student groups in Table 1

The causes for the declining attrition trend can be attributed to many factors from socialsupport systems available to students, to low self-efficacy due to poor academic performance, tolack of perceived value and career opportunities relative to the amount of effort required to gothrough the program, to the rigid ECE curriculum structure and the lecture-style learningenvironment that discourage active and inquiry-based learning [1,3,4,5

Personas help to communicate thegoals, values, needs, and actions of targeted users and to develop empathy and interest for usersduring early stage design. Scenarios are narrative descriptions (i.e., “stories”) of “typical andsignificant” user activities that help designers define specific product features that reflect a userfocus [2].
