, 2010 Toward a Better Understanding of Academic and Social Integration: A Qualitative Study of Factors Related to Persistence in EngineeringAbstract In general, the challenge to produce more engineers in the United States can beunderstood as two-pronged: (a) recruiting students to the field of engineering; and (b) retainingstudents in the discipline. There have been considerable efforts to recruit additional students toengineering which have yielded modest results. However, the increase in enrollment has notcoincided with an increase in engineering graduates. Therefore the departure of students from thediscipline remains an issue. Using a recently proposed model of engineer retention by

The virtual laboratories provide student teams dynamic access to data as they choose what runs and the measurements to make in a structure that requires iterative convergence on a solution, which specifically promote and develop students’ use of strategic knowledge. Success is intimately coupled not only to the ability to develop models to analyze and interpret this new information, but also to the ability to identify what information will be useful and how to move closer

Therefore, for an examinee to answer correctly item 1, he/she should have an understandingof the representation of weights. This cognitive attribute is directly related to errors 4 and 5 andwill be referred to as weight on block (attribute 4).
