placed a value on the freedom of students to freelyexplore majors during their first two years. For example, all 6500 freshmen could declare one ofthe eleven Engineering programs as their intended major. In fact, nearly 1000 do so. However, theavailability of faculty, laboratories, classes and other resources required beyond the early years arenot kept in balance with declared student interests. Hence, a number of Colleges, notablyEngineering, Education, and Business, restrict admission at the junior level and in turn restrictaccess to upper-level classes to those who have competed successfully for limited upperclass seats.In the College of Engineering, junior enrollments are maintained at 750 to 800 students, includingabout 100 junior transfers

But I've seen that doing EWB gives people the experience they need to find the right career path for them quicker and then advancing their career much more quickly because they have those fundamental skills that you know just can't teach in engineering school.Dominik, a senior electrical engineer in the energy field, also noticed how the clarity of careerpathways helped them focus and advance more quickly. I would say that probably the progression is a bit faster, but I wouldn't say that it's any different than their peers in terms of the options they have in front of them. So, what I mean to say is, at my company, there's kind of two paths, there's technical management and deep technical work

A secondary goal of the notebook requirement was to encouragestudents to learn to take good notes. The quality and content of a student’s note-taking for eachlecture was graded every two or three weeks based on whether the essence of the lecture (i.e., its3 to 6 main points) and enough supporting material (like graphs) were captured such that thenotebook could serve as a later introductory

The absence of women faculty and mentors both within the classroomand outside of it, few women students in their classes, and the lack of supportive networks cancreate a “chilly climate” for women in non-traditional fields. It is during this critical period thatmany of them transfer into other fields.12, 5 , 13Research suggests that female students are most concerned about isolation, the perceivedirrelevance of theoretical preparatory courses, negative experiences in laboratory courses,classroom climate, and lack of role models.14 Other studies have suggested that the differentlearning styles of women may influence their desire to enter engineering or technology
