. A majority of employed engineers in an MBA program reported that theyhad no discussions with their employers about future growth opportunities aftercompleting their MBA. These same engineers also reported that their employers didlittle, if anything, to recognize employees for degree completion. Perhaps as a Page 4.93.1consequence of their employer’s indifference, fewer than 25% of these students expectedto be with their current employers 3 years after obtaining their MBAs 5. With employer-provided training, research indicates that turnover is dependent on the type of trainingprovided. Technical employees provided with technical training are more

Theoutcomes have the potential to inform future implementation of LA in regular courses andimprove teaching effectiveness.MethodologyTo address the two research questions, this work was split into two stages. The first stage,Course Learning Analytics, involved applying LA to two existing courses and recognizing thepotential insights. For the second stage, Instructor Perspective Survey, the LA results were thenused to gather faculty perceptions on the value of LA to their courses. It was important to useexisting courses at Rowan University’s Mechanical Engineering program for LA to demonstrateits utility in making educational decisions

Completion of this project is arequirement for graduation, and students usually take the capstone design course in their senioryear. Because this course is within the Engineering and Computer Science curriculum of thecollege, however, many of the topics that the students are required to learn are well outside oftheir typical course requirements.

Besides class meetings,students regularly met in groups outside of class to discuss their findings and to create theirPowerPoint presentations. Student’s understanding of teamwork was periodically assessed foreffectiveness. To make sure sufficient progress was accomplished, the instructor met withstudent groups and provided guidance and information to expedite the process.Engineering and science curricula often focus on the technical abilities of students, neglectingthe “soft skills” that could determine
