By considering both perspectives, this study provides insights that may informcourse scheduling, course curriculum development and integration of campus resources toimprove student experiences with the first-year engineering workload. Further, this informationwill help our faculty to better support students' transition to university. The result of thisresearch may also lead to improved recruitment efforts and better planning of engineeringprograms. We hope that by tackling the issue of workload we will enrich and further improve thestudents' experience. Numerous research studies

]. Many researchers have found success with active learning methods by focusing onutilizing visual and hands-on activities. Hands-on learning has been used in small classroomswith enough success to plan a scale-up to larger lectures [10]. One method that has led to successin student learning is to use intuitive approaches to teach students concepts in a way that easilymakes sense, in Statics [11] as well as in other subjects [12] [13]. Another experiment compared two groups of students in which one group receivedclasses focused on hands-on manipulatives to solidify Statics concepts in addition to lectures.The other group only attended traditional lectures. This split continued until the midterm exam.For the rest of the course, the

In SER, in addition to learning aboutstylistic traits that distinguish technical writing from other styles, students learn to plan, writeand revise technical memoranda. Students are expected to apply this knowledge and skills, whenthey compose the two memoranda assigned in the co-requisite engineering course, Methods ofEngineering Analysis (MEA). After the students submit the first memo to their engineeringinstructors, the SER instructor provides students feedback and assigns revision tasks.

The transformation took sevenmonths and included course planning, design, and development phases. During the planning phase,students’ needs were reviewed, and instructional strategies to better meet them were identified. Itwas concluded that giving students more practice would be the most direct approach to improvingtheir problem solving, and whenever possible, immediate feedback about students’ answers andspecific guidance should be provided.FALL 2017

Product-oriented approaches often ignore writing processes entirely or depict simple,linear processes of both writing (plan→write→edit) and writing instruction(assign→submit→grade). However, the field of writing studies has largely rejected the productapproach in favor of writing-as-process models for writing instruction since the 1970s [11].Writing-as-process shifts attention from the final products to the complex, cyclical processesthrough which writing is developed.

Analysis and FindingsMuch of the literature on faculty retention relies on turnover intentions (i.e., plans or desires toleave) as a proxy for actual turnover [2], [5], [8], [12], [18], [20]. Very little of this workexamines faculty retention directly. Of those that do, samples are often constructed from collegecatalogues and online resources [1], [10]. Our study differs from previous research by examiningactual faculty departures and retention cases with the use of a comprehensive data set providedby UX’s Office of Institutional Research. In contrast to catalog data and online resources,institutional data sets are more reliable and allow for removal of retired faculty. In the first stage of our quantitative analysis, we examined faculty

Although several specific models exist, ageneric 4-step model captures most: (1) Represent the Problem, (2) Goal Setting and Planning,(3) Execute the Plan, and (4) Evaluate the Solution. In the first step, problem representation, thestudent must read the problem statement and discern the objective. There are instructionalinterventions for engineering education that are grounded in this theoretical model of problem-solving.
