At most institutions, it will require a significant paradigm shift in faculty behavior. It is unclear how to effect such changes; there are conflicting opinions on whether faculty are motivated by intrinsic or extrinsic factors. But, if this problem is not dealt with forthrightly at the outset, implementation of an

First, certain aspects of a student’s pre-college experiences and preparation are statistically significant predictors of retention into thesophomore year. Second, students who enter the program with settled plans to pursueengineering-related goals after college are much more likely to be retained in the program than arestudents with unsettled or non-engineering-related goals.These findings indicate the importance of prior experiences to continued engineering study, andindicate that exposure to pre-college programs that support or complement engineering, such asparticipation in science fairs, robotics teams

RCS sessions students are often asked to verbalizehow they learned something. This helps the student monitor their understanding and learning.They are also required to write a reflection on what they learned and what they are going to donext after each weekly session. This helps them hone their metacognitive skills.At the beginning of the semester, the students are required to develop a task plan with the help oftheir advisor. This task plan spells out the specific deliverables that are to be completed beforethe end of the semester. These deliverables are then evaluated by the University of SouthCarolina’s Office of Program Evaluations (OPE). The OPE staff uses a rubric that was createdspecifically for this purpose.8 For each meeting
