. This diversity results in a datasetthat currently comprises twenty-five years of data that includes 1,014,887 unique undergraduate,degree-seeking students. Of those students 210,725 were ever enrolled in engineering. While theoriginal database contains only eleven institutions, the plan for MIDFIELD has always been toexpand the database to include all public institutions in the United States that offer undergraduateprograms in engineering. An award by the National Science Foundation (#1545667,$4,010,978.00, 03/01/16 to 02/28/2021) will support increasing the number of partnerinstitutions to 103.

plan toconduct similar studies in which we investigate the role of class level (i.e., freshman andsophomore classes versus junior and senior), major, and historically underrepresented groups,such as women and minorities. This preliminary study resulted in the development of a resourcethat instructors can hand out or show their students on the first day. Ultimately, in a field oftendriven by numbers, there is great power in showing engineering students that, mathematically,their academic success depends on consistent class attendance, diligent note-taking, and keepingup with the instructor during class.References1.

project clearly indicated that the studentswere able to apply knowledge gained from almost all courses in their undergraduateeducation. They were also able to design and implement a useful application using modernengineering tools and a variety of computer languages such as C and MySQL database. Theproject implementation met both its constraints; low-cost and low power consumption. Theproject design and implementation also satisfied many of student learning outcomes, asdefined by ABET, for capstone design projects.VII.

Theengineering content in Year 2 was fairly high and included a course with a challenging mixedsignal design project. It was clear that students from both Year 1 and Year 2 of the GlasgowCollege, UESTC would be eligible to participate in the summer OIP. However, it was notknown how many students and from which years would select this particular OIP as this wasone of four OIPs organized by the Glasgow College, UESTC. Another unknown was whetherany UESTC students would attend the OIP – let alone information on their year(s) of study inwhich degree programme(s). While the majority of UESTC students were
