This presents the Standard as secondary to the methods used, even though following the standards is essential for an ISO-compliant LCA or carbon footprint report. Since many students will go on to be practitioners by completing LCAs based on the standards, or reviewing LCAs according to the standards, it is important for them to recognize the complexity and rigor these standards have. 4) Understanding the role of professional peer review for standard compliance.

A shocking percentage of these students do not make it to their second yearwithin their chosen engineering discipline, either switching majors or leaving the universityentirely. Dr. Nathan Klingbeil of Wright State University first observed that, traditionally, only42% of engineering or computer science majors at Wright State advance beyond first-yearcalculus classes to seek their degrees 1. Thus, in an effort to improve student retention, in 2004WSU under the care of Dr. Klingbeil developed a mathematics education model which is Page 22.585.2designed to incorporate a new introductory math course into the engineering curriculum

In the future, the application will be evaluated with construction students to determine itseffectiveness in teaching topics in construction classes.

In order to enhance the capstone design experience of the students, it isnecessary to analyze the projects carried out over a sufficiently long time. Projects can beanalyzed based on several criteria. Examples could be its source of sponsorship, technologybeing used in the project, and its field of application. Also, such an analysis needs to look at thepreparatory ingredients of the curriculum in the lower level that led to the capstone designproject. A mini project

Specific Aim #3: Develop a platform to identify warning signs of engagement that may give advisors an early indication that a student is at risk of leaving school. o We hypothesize that a platform displaying multi-dimensional engagement levels over time will work as a better early warning tool for advisors than tracking end- of-semester grades alone.At the end of the S-STEM grant term, we will have developed an engaging two-year project-based curriculum in STEM including technical hands-on activities

. This percentage for engineering courses was mere 0.86%. This is unfortunate since theinfrastructure required for online education has been primary developed by engineers.The perceived obstacles in widespread integration of online courses in engineering curriculumscan be divided into two categories: physical obstacles and cultural obstacles. A major physicalbarrier is how to provide hands-on trainings, which traditionally take place in laboratories andmachine shops, in an online setting. However, this may not be a major problem since, contrary towhat one may expect, the data shows that online education is primary “local”. A little over half ofall students who took at least one online course took some face-to-face courses at the sameinstitution
