STUDENT RETENTION AND SATISFACTION IN COMPUTER SCIENCE SERVICE COURSES WHEN USING COMPETENCY-BASED GRADING AND ASSIGNMENT CHOICEAbstractEnrollment in introductory engineering courses, for non-Computer Science majors, often evokesapprehension, particularly when faced with the prospect of learning programming. The presenceof peers with prior coding experience can further compound these concerns. This study,applicable to a broad spectrum of engineering service courses, centers on student assignmentchoice within an undergraduate CS-1 curriculum.

In many departments, it functions as a “weed out” course,measuring a student’s interest and proficiency in the field at an early stage in their program [2].Jacobs & Freud [3] affectionately refer to introductory thermodynamics as an engineeringstudent’s “rite of passage.”Unfortunately, thermodynamics is a complex topic that is difficult for many students tounderstand and visualize [4], all too often leading to frustration and failure.

“federal programs generate nearly three-fourths of all aid available to help studentsand families pay the tuition, living costs, and related expenses of post-secondary education.”2 Thus, wehave a history of both local and federal support for education for people of all classes. Even though post-secondary education is not equally accessible to all people – the poor and minorities do not attend collegeas frequently as wealthier people do – we still have a solid foundation upon which to build. However, over the past forty years, the gap between the rich and the poor attending college hasincreased and the number of minorities entering fields such as engineering has decreased. In the interestsof openly discussing this problem, I will describe
