While the interwoven strands ofidentity trajectory theory are the same, the definitions and operationalization of these strands aredifferent. The original descriptions were modified to characterize experiences that influence theirpathway into engineering and development as engineers. The intellectual strand focuses on howstudents learn engineering knowledge in ways that enable students to contribute to engineeringclassrooms, team projects, and internship opportunities [23].

The goal of this three-year exploration is to determine if sucha system as the EMS can be built to collect this data in real time within the classroomand accurately capture behavioral and emotional engagements. Also to be explored is theintegration of disparate data types such as image data, heart rate, academic performance,etc., within an AI classification system. Final efforts on the project will include prelimi-nary evaluation of the ability to infer cognitive engagement from behavioral and emotionalengagements. As demonstrated in previous work, classifying emotions and behaviors is pos-sible to some extent, and psychological work has established the link between emotionaland behavioral engagement with cognitive

Further, the retention of transfer students was not a significant issue, perhapsbecause these students have already taken some of the courses with the highest DFW rates,although this theory is unconfirmed.

Starting in the Fall 2015 term, the Mechanical Engineering Departmentdeveloped a new Statics course exclusively for MEEN students, MEEN 225. This new course wasdesigned to better prepare students for subsequent MEEN curriculum. Topics covered are verysimilar, however MEEN 225 uses group projects in addition to homework and major exams forassessment. The students must also attend a 3-hour recitation every week in MEEN 225.Since the Fall 2015 semester when the divergence of the MEEN 221 and MEEN 225 coursesbegan, the department has seen a much higher percentages of students earn a grade of a D, an F,or Q-drop in MEEN 221 creating higher DFQ rates.

Some students have a blurred idea of what is academic dishonesty, especially onhomework7. In many places, homework is not a substantial part of the grade so it is acceptable toreceive online help on homework.8 Some instructors avoid traditional homework and use projects toassess student learning, yet it appears the online tutors are available to not only solve problems butwrite papers and laboratory reports.

Along these lines, the ethnographic study of anundergraduate programming course conducted by Secules et al. shows the combined impact of several“mundane and seemingly innocuous” aspects of the course, such as the seating arrangement in lecture andthe status hierarchy when an experienced student was paired with an inexperienced student for a group lab[11]. These aspects of the course all combined to create a culture that projected the implicit message thatthe focus of the study--a female student from a vocational high school--could not succeed in engineering.Lastly, studies have shown that students’ performance in CS is influenced by their learning strategies intheir introductory CS course, which are
