Results of exposure and motivation levels across engineering majors.DiscussionThe findings of the present study are in line with initial expectations, highlighting bothopportunities for improvement in engineering education and the need to foster awareness andunderstanding of semiconductor-related topics among students. The data reveal that while morethan 66% of respondents have heard about semiconductors, only 9.41% have taken at least oneuniversity class on the subject, and 18.82% have participated in activities related tosemiconductors. This result suggests a potential area for curriculum enhancement in engineeringeducation. Keeping in mind that 72% of students taking the class are juniors and senior

Together, these studies suggest that student persistence in STEM may be a strong function ofstudent satisfaction related to STEM education processes, support structures, and culture.Nontraditional Student SuccessThe literature further indicates that nontraditional students often use more personalized andbroad-minded measures to consider and evaluate their own educational success. For example,Wirth and Padilla [12] found that community college students took a wider view of their successand used goal realization and course completion (rather than degree completion) as indicators oftheir personal achievement. Johnson and Berge [22] emphasized that goal realization may

Of the 640 REU sites currently listed, only 4 include community colleges(nsf.gov).The processes and people involved in this definition also influenced what went in theengineering curriculum and what stayed out. For example, Rolston and Cox argue that by takingthe “mind out of the shop” and into the university, engineering educators throughout the 20thcentury recreated a class division with significant social justice dimensions: “The shift in focus of engineering training from the job

Much of this developmentoccurs under a universalist framework that considers a device made for one patient will likelywork for all patients. This is what Constanza-Chock refers to as designing for the “unmarked”user, whose gender, race, class, and age are not specified [3].
