Prior research using the Survey of EarnedDoctorates suggests that engineering students funded primarily by research assistantshipscomplete their PhDs on average one semester earlier than students funded primarily by teachingassistantships.

To determine if the implementation of these initiatives is having a positiveimpact on engineering students’ performance in a first-year programming course, a correlationalresearch study at a mid-size Michigan public university was completed over a three-semesterperiod beginning in 2022. Students were surveyed regarding their prior experience with computerscience at the beginning of the semester, and student scores on the first laboratory practicum andfinal course grade were recorded. The data demonstrates that nearly sixty percent of students hadno prior experience with computer science and withdrew from the course at nearly double the rateas students with AP experience.

. found that students in a non-traditional, problem-based learning environment, where they worked with real-life examples, hadmore advanced goal orientation, task value, use of learning strategies, critical thinking, self-regulation, effort, and peer learning, when compared to the control-group of students who weretaught in a traditional, textbook-oriented setting. Academics have gradually shifted from ateacher-oriented approach to a student-oriented approach, encouraging more independentlearning or self-regulated learning. How students become motivated and independent learnersrelies heavily on how the classroom and teaching is structured.14 Self-regulated learning is aform on non-traditional education that allows the student to take control of
