heightened curriculum demands, it is important that engineering students are readyand willing to spend time preparing for class by reviewing material, completing assignments andstudying. The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of behaviors and attitudestoward homework and studying that students developed in high school and whether thosebehaviors and attitudes changed when students were faced with more challenging classes and theincreased distractions college brings.The motivation for this study came from the results of a preliminary study that analyzed datafrom the Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP) Freshman Survey taken by a cohortof engineering students in 2010 at the J.

Retentionin STEM degree programs in general, and engineering in particular, is lower among studentswho begin their Penn State education at a regional campus compared to students who start at themain campus.To address the need for STEM retention services at the regional campuses, this project carriesout four strategies, three interventions plus one assessment and evaluation strategy. The threeinterventions include: (a) tutoring programs that serve three foundational mathematics coursesrequired by STEM majors (Algebra II, Trigonometry, Calculus I); (b) a freshman toy-basedengineering design course (called Toy FUN-damentals) in which dissection and

Simply put, the model suggeststhat academic motivation is influenced by perceived competence beliefs (“Can I do this task?”)and beliefs about the worth of the task (“is this task useful/interesting/etc?”). The model predictsthat student motivation for engineering is influenced by both students’ expectancy for successand their values.

The percentage occurrence of these themes was thencomputed for women and men (summing to 100%), and compared to the overall percentage ofwomen and men respondents (26% women) to determine areas where genders wereoverrepresented or underrepresented. Since we were particularly interested in the gendered motivation related to genderdiversity, we conducted a survey prior to the outreach project (included in Appendix B) tounderstand how well the undergraduates recognize the need for more gender diversity inengineering, and to understand their perceptions of the obstacles

This disconnect is made more severe by two factors: (a) sometimesthe lab either precedes or lags behind the lecture material and (b) the theory and the lab aretaught by two separate instructors who profess different teaching philosophies and havedifferent ideas about what is important and what is not.3.

Upon assigning students in teams,each team member was encouraged to contribute in identifying different experimentalparameters for their team project; a preliminary list of suggestions was provided by thelaboratory technician to help students narrow-down their options (Appendix A-B).
