While thisrecent report showcases the issue, graduate attrition problems have been documented inliterature for decades: In 2008, the Council for Graduate Schools reported one of the onlyquantitative studies to date tracking attrition and persistence, noting that graduate attrition inengineering is remarkably high: between 24%-36% for men and women in engineering,respectively [2].

BackgroundThe purpose of this research was to identify and compare student peer interactions and use ofcourse resources to student academic performance within the context of a large, face-to-face (f2f)engineering course. Today more than ever before, engineering instructors are able to providestudents access to a variety of course specific resources, ranging from traditional, printed text-based information, to web-based activities which support students’ individual processes oflearning [1]. Moreover, in keeping with the theoretical foundations of social learning [2, 3],engineering instructors may often encourage students to “work in groups” to prepare assignmentsand learn technical course content through group-based problem solving.

among Rice University STEMstudents’ high school preparation, psychological characteristics, and career aspirations. Althoughgreater high school preparation in STEM coursework predicts higher STEM retention andperformance in college [1], objective academic preparation and college performance do not fullyexplain STEM retention decisions, and the students who leave STEM are often not the lowest-performing students [2]. Certain psychosocial experiences may also influence students’ STEMdecisions. We explored the predictive validity of 1) a STEM diagnostic exam as an objectivemeasure of high school science and math preparation and 2) self-efficacy as a psychologicalmeasure on long-term (three years later) STEM career aspirations and STEM identity

However, these metrics fall shortin explaining why admitted students, with high GPA and standardized test scores, can still fail tostay in an engineering program or struggle to graduate on time [1]. Literature suggests that non-cognitive and affective (NCA) factors can play an important role in a students’ success andencompasses measures such as stress, social support, engineering identity, meaning and purpose,mindfulness, belonging, and many others [2]–[11].

Students encounter stressfulfactors that challenge their motivation to pursue and persist in academic goals. Such factors oftenrequire being resilient in the face of academic adversities. The ability to navigate risk factors,recover from academic setbacks, and adapt to stress or adversity is described in the literature asresilience. Broadly defined, resilience is the ability to “bounce back” from adversity or stressfulsituations to achieve the desired goal [1-3].

Although the terms used vary, they have similarmeanings; they describe problems that have no right and wrong solutions, are not easily defined,have no clear rules, and typically require iteration to develop a final solution. Engineering classroom problems, are defined as being typically given by the courseinstructor in a well-documented, well-defined written form, and having a single, “correct” solution[3].

The mechanisms ofcompounding, conflicting, and triangulating expectations show that the interactions ofexpectations can amplify their emotional impacts on students. The results indicate that studentsjudge their own performance or belonging in engineering relative to the systemic functioning ofexpectations. For educators, this insight has profound implications on how we communicateperformance standards without inadvertently reinforcing social performance expectations thatcan contribute to problematic cultural features of engineering learning environments.IntroductionIn the broader discourse around student diversity and retention [1-4], prior
