These included,for example, a focus on classroom norms, strategies to increase peer-to-peer interactions, andpeer testimonials to enable discussions of the challenges faced by first-year engineering students,among others. For the third and final iteration of the project, we examined the impact ofinterventions aimed at both classroom community and relevancy.Based on the findings of this study and considering the context of the research plan, we have thefollowing concluding observations.

Some of the content from that course informed the development of the new historycourses.The authors also surveyed the web to find out what equivalent courses, if any, were being offeredat regional peer institutions.

These techniques develop from various sources,including self-taught trial and error, advice from friends, and directives from faculty.Unfortunately, if students do not eventually find successful tactics, they struggle and aredissatisfied with their experience or leave without having completed the program. Whilefaculty members, tutors, mentors, advisors, and more are a valid source of advice, studentsare more likely to make progress among peers. Meanwhile, recent graduates and current junior/senior students often have a wealth ofinformation regarding successful (and unsuccessful) study habits and other academic skillsgained through experience.

]. Research shows that student interest in STEM field decreases as their grade levelsincrease [2]. It is expected that in the next five years, there will be a shortage of talented andskilled employees in STEM fields [1], [2].Among the reasons that U.S. students lack interest in STEM fields is their perception that formalK-12 STEM education is not directly relevant to their daily life experiences [3], [4]. Themathematical and scientific content presented in formal settings does not appear to be directlyuseful in their day-to-day experiences and their interactions with others in their community.Content knowledge is often presented in a way that seems compartmentalized and impractical [3]– [7].

Instead, he directed students to work in smallgroups, where they spent the majority of class time (76%).
