PhD programs before graduating? 3. Can existing surveys of writing concepts, attitudes, and self-efficacies predict students’ risk for attrition?MotivationThough doctoral engineering education is understudied as a whole, attrition in graduateengineering education is particularly unexplored. Recent reports by the Council of GraduateSchools reported that in engineering, the 10-year completion rate for doctoral programs fordomestic students was only 59% [1]. Attrition is problematic for several reasons. First, since manydomestic students are funded by federal grants (through NSF, for example) and through domesticindustry, each domestic student that leaves academia prematurely represents a lost investment.Second, graduate students are

Warrantofficers enjoy the privileges of an officer, and according to the Army’s website, “technical warrantofficers are the Army’s mechanical experts”. Qualification training for warrant officers is generallyseveral months to a year in duration of fulltime study, but many warrant officers do not have four-yearcollege degrees.The American Council on Education (ACE), based out of Washington, D.C., reviews military trainingcourses, including Army warrant officer courses, and makes credit recommendations of equivalentcollege credits based upon training durations, content and scope.

, which are widely used in engineering courses [4]. While the intention of team-baseddesign projects is to provide all students with a range of technical and non-technical masteryexperiences [4,5], students enter into these experiences with differences – whether real orperceived – in relevant technical skills that undermine individuals’ participation and persistenceon team-based work. Prior research indicates male engineering students are more confident thanfemales in their math and science abilities, as well as their abilities to solve open-ended problems[6-9]. Lower confidence in women often translates into lower likelihood that they will take anactive role in technical tasks and instead relegate themselves to administrative or people

In this study,which was part of a project conducted for HVAC & Refrigeration class (MET 42100), the teamdecided to investigate ways to reduce energy or improve the coefficient of performance (COP)and efficiency of refrigeration cycles by looking into energy consumption in the condenser unit ofthe system. Sometimes overlooked and underappreciated, a power plant condenser can make orbreak the efficiency and power delivery goals. Understanding how important a role thecondenser plays is a good step toward greater energy conservation awareness. The teamconducted a parametric study to analytically investigate improvements
