financial aid granted to students may inform theinstitutions they choose to attend as well as the majors they pursue after matriculation (Kim,2004; Stater, 2011). Notably, Stater’s (2011) study found that higher net costs of attendancedecreased the probability that students would choose a major in STEM.Additionally, after matriculation, a host of institutional factors may support, or impede, studentsuccess in STEM. For example, research indicates that institutional practices, such as career andacademic advising, play a critical role in facilitating retention, persistence, and degree attainmentin college (Pascarella & Terenzini, 2005). A number of studies have demonstrated that students’perceptions of, and experiences with, academic advising may

Each time thestudent completes work that is within the process parameters, credit is given and the studentadvances toward fulfilling the course performance requirements.If we are going to help students engage in effective learning processes, then a natural place tostart is with courses that are early in the student’s career. From an engineering perspective, thisimplies the “gateway” courses that students first encounter in their engineering studies. Of these,the courses in Engineering Mechanics (Statics, Dynamics) provide an essential foundation forseveral engineering disciplines which makes them logical candidates for the implementation ofeffective learning

It is good practice to instruct students to make an initial timely post of their introductionand then return to the Introduce Yourself discussion sometime prior to the end of the first unit ormodule to reply to a couple of their classmates. Although some of this information may be thesame for some working professionals from one course to the next while pursuing a graduatedegree or certificate, it is strongly suggested that each course begin like this to encouragestudents to engage with the instructor and each other and reduce feelings of isolation right fromthe start.

the responsibilities that come with that role. One way to address this apparent shortcoming is to continue to refine the design of the stand-alone course, finding a better balance between the design task and the ethical considerations thatweave through it. We noted above that we placed a great deal of trust in the structure of the workin the course, and in the scaffolding we provided, to prompt students to connect design decisionswith ethical values. The self-reported data suggest this trust was not altogether misplaced, but thatwe may need to do more to foster an understanding of role responsibility and its importance in ourstudents’ future careers. It is also possible that the mixed results reflect a more general problem with stand
