interventions designed to improve student persistence across all student groups. Perhapsthe most relevant finding in support of the research discussed in this paper is that increasing thefrequency of asking students to retrieve precalculus skills improves their retention acrosssubsequent semesters, better preparing them for courses later in their plans of study and tocomplete their engineering degrees [8]. It should be noted that while that study investigated thefrequency of retrieval in a precalculus course, it follows that incorporating space retrieval withinlater mathematics courses would benefit students.Considering the impact of calculus courses on retention and persistence within engineeringprograms, there is a clear need for intervention

specialists had 89,500jobs in 2016, with 10-year job outlook of 11% growth; this is better than EnvE at 53,800 jobsand 8% growth rate [33, 34]. However, there are many more degree programs and graduates inEnvSci, increasing competition for those jobs. As well, EnvE graduates can often take EnvScijobs, should they choose to do so.Thus, previous research points to a variety of factors that impact students decisions about whichcollege majors they choose to enroll in, and factors that may impact their persistence. However,it is unclear the extent to which these factors are important to the pathways of students withinitially strong interests in both environmental issues and engineering. In particular, there is alack of strong information about persistence

However, the vast majority of disciplinary engineeringPhD programs (e.g., non-Engineering Education programs) do not prepare graduates for teachingand/or disseminating best teaching practices through the scholarship of teaching and learning(SoTL) [7]. As a result, the limited teaching preparedness of new college and universityengineering educators has the potential to turn students off from engineering [8], which directlyimpacts retention and completion rates [9].Several factors potentially contribute to this problem.

It has been suggested that neurodiverse students benefit from course assessmentsthat allow for a more flexible mode of expressing knowledge [3]. However, evidence forimproved learning outcomes on different types of course assessments is largely anecdotal.Characteristics associated with different forms of neurodiversity, such as attention deficithyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum, depression, and anxiety, are suggested to benormally distributed in the population [2]. Indeed, research suggests that these conditions arebest conceptualized as
