/environmental engineering have declined from15.5% of all engineering degrees in 2010-2011 to ~10% in 2017-2021 [2]-[12]. This representeda declining number of degrees from 2013 to 2016 (13,417 to 12,404), then increasing numbers to2020 (15,052). Further, ASEE [3] reported the year-to-year median percent change in freshmanenrollment for civil or environmental engineering of -3.0 and -3.6 in 2019 and 2020, respectively(among 167 institutions). In contrast, the number of mechanical engineering degrees hasincreased steadily from 19,241 to 35,120 in 2011 to 2020, comprising around 23 to 24% of allengineering Bachelor’s degrees.

The results of this experiment should not come as asurprise.This experiment was conducted in the fall of 2019 and is continuing in the spring of 2020, thusgiving the authors another semester of data to consider the question. If requiring gradedhomework does not improve exam performance, it may be more effective to reallocate teachingassistants to interacting with students in small group settings rather than grading homework.References1.
