[3], researchers found the ten-year completion rate for engineeringPh.D.’s is only around 62%. Studies have indicated many factors within engineering graduateschool culture that lead to attrition from graduate school, especially relating to students’expectations, goals, and quality of work and life [4]-[6]. Specifically, Zerbe et al. [6] identifiedthat mismatched expectations and preconceptions for graduate school directly led students toquestion or depart from their programs. Recognizing the challenges related to pursuing anengineering graduate degree, undergraduate students motivated to pursue graduate degrees wouldgreatly benefit from additional preparation for the culture and expectations for graduate students.

Sigma's ability to enhance efficiencyand quality is a sought-after skill, making students invaluable assets in organizations striving foroperational excellence.2.3 Module 2: Mastering Statistical Control (Day 5-6)Students are guided through control charting for variables for individual measurements (I-MRand X-bar R chart) and for the distribution of measurements (X-bar S chart). These activitiesmirror the real-life practice of monitoring production processes to ensure consistency and detectanomalies. The practicality of constructing control charts for variables, reinforced with hands-onactivities, deepens understanding and equips students to drive quality improvements in amanufacturing environment.2.4 Module 4: Exploring Quality Tools (Day 7
. Each lesson first introduces concepts in slides with vocabulary, emphasizingconnections to previous knowledge. Vocabulary is then used in the lesson's video(s) and again inlesson activities to enhance understanding in context and provide repetition.By and large, these educational tools were effective for building basic microbiologicalknowledge in the first elementary cohort. During the first lesson, instructors observed studentresponses to questions about general microbiological concepts (relative size of microorganisms,types of organisms, potential habitats, etc.) and used this discussion as a base to understandknowledge gains. Student instructor, Interviewee 4, observed that by the end of the coursestudents had achieved an "entry-level

Alternatively, a shorter introduction andexercise procedure video, with additional short videos explaining specific parts of the procedurefor more involved or complicated procedures. Finally having a scheduled meeting or recitationfor the students to work on their labs and have immediate access to assistance could be part ofthe course schedule in future iterations.References[1] Alexander, D.

complexity of this PDLlearning context and the fact that it seeks to develop skills rather than highly specifiedknowledge, we have attempted to collect various kinds of data to determine how well we aredoing in fostering an interdisciplinary perspective and disposition. Assessment of studentlearning takes several forms. • Facilitator observation and evaluation: Each team of eight has a faculty or post-doc facilitator that observes and facilitates the team for three hours each week. In these sessions they can observe and assess each student’s behaviors as s/he interacts with, helps in the problem solving, works to develop knowledge and contributes through individual research to the process team.

While the new minimum enrolment numbers aid in reducing operatingcosts and assists with balancing the budget, they may negatively impact a student‟s educationopportunities because senior level specialized courses will be cancelled due to minimum classenrollment requirements or will only be offered sporadically.
