On the other end of the spectrum, the industry’s need for a STEM-educatedworkforce is burgeoning with an expected growth of almost 7% in the next five years with 3.5million STEM jobs to be filled by 2025 [2]. The gap between need and availability is increasingrapidly. The number of unfilled STEM jobs has been projected to be 2.4 million by the end of2019 [3].Sandwiched between these two challenges is the challenge of retention of undergraduate studentsin STEM fields. According to a Department of Education report [4], almost 50% ofundergraduate STEM majors do not continue in STEM. According to the 2012 report by

, faculty get more teaching credit for teaching larger classes. For example,the author’s department used to have a rule that a class of more than 100 students counted as 1.5classes. This allows the instructor to focus on fewer classes and do a better job on those, whilehaving more time for research.Large classes are a boon to recruitment. An instructor of a large class becomes known to a lotmore students, and these students are more likely to consider working with them later on. Youmay become their graduate advisor, or advisor for an undergraduate research project. A largeclass is also a great place to recruit for independent-study students who may assist one of yourresearch projects or generate resources for later offerings of the same course. The

Just as in a dynamicsystem, the input is tracked well with feedbacks and controllers, it is conceptualized that thesame idea can be applied in assessing student learning outcomes in a course. The proposedmethod is comprised of identifying the SLOs for the course stated in the course outline as macro-SLOs and then developing lower level micro-SLOs, which contribute to individual macro-SLOs.These macro-SLOs and micro-SLOs constitute the inner and outer loops respectively of adynamic assessment system.

Combined with a lack of experience, such freedom can be detrimental.For example, many projects may seem tempting or even urgent but it would be a mistake toperform a small amount of work in several areas without significant progress in any of them.Additionally, tenure-track problems are usually exacerbated by the fact that the faculty memberis new to the geographic location and starts with a limited social network. Regular discussions with peers in the same situation can accelerate the acclimation andthereby improve the chances of getting tenure.13-15 First, explaining and discussing anydifficulties often provides multiple approaches which can then be considered and debated.Second, and
