Students may find their expectations of what the course wouldentail differ from the reality[16]. Problems with a heavy courseload, unsatisfactory teaching, ordisenchantment with the course material are also cited as factors in course withdrawal decisions[17, 18] . Gender and transfer student status have shown value as predictors of course withdrawalwith females and transfer students having a higher risk of course withdrawal[19]. Studentsconsidering course withdrawal have been found to frequently seek advice from personal contactsrather than academic advisors[20].The time to graduation with

It is hypothesized that there is disconnect betweenthe principles outlined in Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and the actual classroomenvironment, thus creating a barrier to intrinsic motivation needed for student learning. Theproposed work is an empirical investigation to explore this disconnect in the context ofundergraduate engineering education. The primary tasks will be to (i) assess the Facultyknowledge of SDT; (ii) develop a measurement framework to assess the classroom environmentas it relates to SDT; and (iii) determine the association among Faculty knowledge of SDT

PWIs who are involved in ethnic student organizations areoften more involved, feel more positively towards their institution, and successfully graduate11.These organizations have the potential to connect students of similar cultural heritage whocelebrate their personal academic achievements and educational aspirations. These findingsconverge to support SCCT’s notion that environment impacts career aspirations7. While wefound no studies directly examining this phenomenon among Hispanic students, the currentliterature suggests involvement in student organizations is instrumental to Hispanic STEMmajors’ graduate degree aspirations. Therefore, guided by SCCT7 we intend to explore whatenvironmental factors support Hispanic STEM student aspirations
