These issues have arisen primarily due to a gradual shift in demographicsof engineering versus engineering technology students, combined with higher requirements forentry into the new engineering programs brought about by the increased mathematical rigor. Thedepartmental focus on equity and inclusion mirrors a unified effort at the university and collegelevels, particularly relating to expanded access to majors that are in the highest demand (i.e.,predominantly STEM majors). To tackle these equity and inclusion issues, there are twodepartment-specific attrition points the program under study is designed to address: • To formally enter the engineering programs and to be able to graduate in 4 years, all admitted engineering

. Here, student diversity is defined as differences in learning styles which may or maynot be addressed in a typical college classroom. At this Midwestern comprehensive universitywith both engineering and engineering technology programs, the student population appears tobe quite homogenous, primarily male, primarily white. In teaching the students, however, it isquite clear that the students are very diverse in their learning styles (as opposed to aptitudes andabilities which also vary). The investigator’s experience with teaching a single class to studentsin both engineering and engineering technology was the driving force for designing a study thatexamines learning styles in this context. When students learn differently than faculty teach, it

Since medical electronics is one of the fields where BMEs can develop theircareer, it is important that BMEs who wish to move in this direction, graduate with the technicalskills required to develop and test innovations in the form of electronic device prototypes. Thecourse investment used by conventional engineering programs to foster and hone these skills isnot practical in a four-year BME program. It is then necessary to efficiently teach a broadspectrum of electronic concepts with a limited course credit impact, in order to enable BMEs tobecome effective users of electronics technology in the medical field

University of Texas - Pan American.This endeavor concentrates on student retention of the materials being studied, as well as thestudents’ ability to practically apply their new skills. Minority science, technology, engineering,and math (STEM) students have been found, in recent studies, to depart from STEMundergraduate fields to some extent because of the lack of real world connections to the subjectmatter being taught in the classroom. Also, the traditional way of teaching theory first and thenassigning a task may actually stifle creative thought and innovation required in later STEMcourses. Using a CBI approach, the target lessons will be, in effect, taught backwards. In otherwords, the students are presented with a challenge, and then, only when

The basis for this technologicalsuperiority has been our ability to train and retain
