little notice of Robert Runté’s view that it is a waste of time worryingabout the external validation of being a professional. Teachers are, he says “knowledge workers…and as such we have a responsibility to both ourselves and our public to become reflectivepractitioners. As reflective practitioners we can reassert, first our ability, and then our right, toassume responsibility for the educational enterprise” which in today’s practice is to beprofessional 5. Some might respond that that is what professional teachers do, or should do. Itfollows that persons’ who enter higher education as educators have the same obligations.5 Runté begins by noting the principle that suggests that people who go on strike cannot be professional. Yet teachershave

. Additionally, Tinto argues that the first year of college,  indeed the first semester, is critical to students being incorporated into the college campus, aswell as their eventual persistence through to graduation. Retention programs, therefore, are mostsuccessful when they utilize informal faculty-student contact in order to integrate students intothe academic and social life of the college5.Some studies have examined the effect of precollege characteristics, parental socialization andcollege experiences to determine their relationship with female STEM major persistence.In a study by Espinosa, the experiences of 1,250 women of color and 891 Caucasian womenattending 135 colleges nationwide were collected via a reflecting survey of their four years

.4Approaches used to facilitate transfer of learning include the use of reflective writings,contextualization of learning experiences, and application of learning to real life.4 To make transferof learning explicit to students, instructors advise students to take courses in the appropriatesequence, emphasize in each course the material transferable to other courses, model transfer byinviting guest lecturers, develop students’ metacognitive skills, and reinforce concepts by usingthem often and in different contexts. However, regardless of the strategies used, transfer of learningdoes not occur automatically. Curriculum and course design should emphasize the connectionbetween courses to stimulate transfer.The primary strategy used at our institution to

Based in variation theory, phenomenographic studies result in the keycomponents that comprise the variation under investigation 25,30,31. These categories ofdescription “contain a variety of conceptions and thus indicate that there are differences in theways a phenomenon is understood” 32 and may be depicted as a taxonomy or hierarchy ofunderstanding.

Precollege characteristics - like high school grade pointaverages - as well as university entrance exams have, in general, turned out to be usefulpredictors of student retention.A prior investigation of the drop-out probability at the engineering department of ouruniversity (Andreeva-Moschen2) clearly showed that the university entry scores can be usedto identify groups of students at higher risk of failure. It also turned out that the probabilitydistribution for student drop-out depends on the type of high school the students graduatedfrom, namely secondary colleges of engineering or traditional high schools. Interestingly, theuniversity entry score distribution does not reflect any differences in this respect, which might

Compared to the othergroups, AfA were less influenced by influence from others but had a higher level of influencefrom pre-college activities. The relatively high influence from interest in STEM as well as pre-college activities is mostlikely explained by the fact that many of the African American students in our sample went toSTEM focused high schools and were recruited specifically from them. Our data reflect thispotential explanation, as AfA were relatively more influenced by recruitment and financialavailability (scholarships) compared to their peers. The finding that exposure to STEM classesmotivated these AfA students to

Although thisserves as a good hands on experiment to test the principles of resistance, it often leaves studentswith very few possible combinations to build in the lab, and does not reflect the innatecomplexity of even the most basic of modern circuits. Moreover, typically students aredisconnected from the theory when using rudimentary laboratory equipment to make fairlysimple measurements.

In engineering education, this skill is linked to the fulfillment of multiple studentoutcomes, particularly those related to problem solving, design, communication, andprofessionalism18. Feedback provides a means for thinking deeply about someone else’s work,reflecting on one’s own work, and receiving and interpreting criticism.
