To fill its community college mission, theinstitution maintains an open-enrollment policy. UVU has a high percentage of low-income(38%) and first-generation (37%) students. It also has a high number of non-traditional students(29%), students with spouses (35%) and/or children under age 12 (19%). Even though tuition islow, part-time attendance is high at 36% of degree-seeking students. These factors affect theoverall graduation rate, which is low at 33% (nationally standardized IPEDS rate for completionsin 150% time) and the overall 1-year retention rate of 67% for baccalaureate-degree seekingstudents.As an integral

The average grade washigher than the average cumulative GPA of the students completing the course.The perceived technical competencies were aligned with the learning objectives of the classes, aslisted in Table 3. Students were asked to indicate their competencies on a 7-point scale, where 1indicates very weak and 7 indicates very strong. Students’ perceptions of achieved technicalcompetencies were solid; their assessments of learning in the areas of fluid mechanicsfundamentals, experimental, and computational methods were generally above 6 on a 7-pointscale.

The highest score of the three attempts was recorded in their grade book. • Classroom TeamworkStudents formed a team of 2 to 4 in the class time to collaboratively solve various problems in 10to 15 minutes’ time window. After the completion, all teams were given the opportunity to pick anumber between 1 and 6. A six-sided die was used to determine the winning team whoseselected number must match the generated number on the die. When more than one team had thesame generated number on the die, a rock-paper-scissors game was used to determine the finalwinning team.

But if I'm just doing the technical side of things, trying to complete a task that I've already planned out, I don't really retain those methods as well. I'm just trying to make it work.” [Par. 1]In this example, Par. 1 acknowledges that his retention of knowledge varies based on the task athand.

This isprimary issue for millennials and one we feel is not necessarily addressed or addressed in detailin the classroom. Hence, our future efforts will more closely focus on how learning in physicsand STEM can be better linked to societal and global issues. We feel this may have amotivational effect on the millennial learner which in turn will serve as a factor which canenhance their learning within the physics and broader STEM classrooms.Bibliography[1] Shaw, Haydn (2013).
