, as U.S. employersin high tech industries struggle to find qualified employees amidst a shortage of STEM degreesin the workforce. In August of 2011, President Obama’s Jobs and Competitiveness Councilcalled for an additional 10,000 engineering graduates each year to meet these shortages [1]. Ifthese goals are to be met, educators in engineering disciplines must strive to improve theirgraduation rates, as only 40% of students that begin their education in STEM fields go on tocomplete their degree in that field [2]. Such low graduation rates may be discouraging, but foreducational researchers they highlight the opportunity for significant gains to be made. However,realizing these gains may require a systematic reevaluation of all parts of the

Because the three levels can be interpreted in more than oneway, and because teachers unwittingly move from one level to another in lecturing, studentsfail to integrate the levels, which lead to a fragmented view of chemistry with many puzzlingparts that do not seem to fit together (Gabel, 1999).
