digital, weregularly process our signals in their digital or discrete form.Returning our discussion to the derivative operator, a student who has learned thefundamentals of the Laplace transform should recognize the derivative, d/dt as theLaplace independent variable s. In most texts, s= σ + jω , and for a discussion of thefrequency response, setting σ = 0 results in the classic result, s = jω . At this point, aSignals & Systems student should be able to recreate Figure 1. This should be recognizedas the magnitude only display of a Bode plot for the response of an ideal integrator, 1/s,and an ideal differentiator, s.Figure 1. The frequency response (magnitude only) of an ideal integrator, 1/s, and anideal differentiator, s. This is a portion
formulatedinterventions to aid these populations (e.g., [5]–[7]), few have adequately questioned the metric ofsuccess itself: retention. To be specific, “retention” tracks only the percentage of students whobegin their undergraduate career in a chosen major and successfully matriculate, which may be toocoarse of a measure for several reasons: 1. It counts students who switch out of a STEM major and flourish within a new major as failures (cell “L+” in Figure 1). 2. It counts students who remain within their originally declared STEM major but flounder academically, dislike the material, or do not envision themselves pursuing a career in the field after graduation as successes (cell “S-” in Figure 1). 3. It ignores students who transfer into a
child plays with, what books their child reads, and where their childgoes to school. As a result, a student’s exposure and perception of different career disciplinesand professional roles is highly influenced by the introductory actions of parents.Parents themselves can serve as role models for engineering if they themselves are engineers [4].Studies have found that children are often more literate in the professions of their parents and asa result occupational inheritance may occur. This phenomenon has been found to occur infamilies in which a parent, sibling, or other relative(s) are engineers as well as in families withmedical professionals and lawyers. [15]Parents also provide support for their children when selecting majors [4]. In fact

good physics student’ andinterest is defined as ‘desire/curiosity to think about and understand physics’. Performance andcompetence are distinguished by the difference between belief in ability ‘to perform [a] requiredphysics task’ and ‘to understand physics content’ respectively. Figure 1: Adapted visualization of Hazari et al.’s framework for ‘identification with physics’ per critical science agency [11]. In 2013, Godwin et al. used critical science agency and Hazari et al.’s physics identity framework toexplore engineering identity as a predictor of engineering major in college [13]. According to Godwin et al.,engineering identity relies heavily on strong mathematics and science identities yet should be studied as itsown entity, since

Overall, these studies greatly benefit undergraduateengineering students for their future academic studies at different institutions.References1. Goh, G. D., Agarwala, S., Goh, G.
