Further, the community collegeallows students to declare their major upon entrance, which makes it ideal for data analysis. Thedata was collected over a five year period.The research process was conducted in the following stages: 1) data description and preparation,2) data modeling and application of DT, and 3) model assessment. A pictorial representation ofthe modeling process is provided in Figure 1. The stages are explained in more detail in thefollowing subsections. Decision Tree

Native American perspectives regardingcommunity and cultural connections to engineering.Effective problem-solving for issues the world is facing involves generating diverse solutions.These diverse solutions need to include Native American perspectives. Native Americans areamong the most underrepresented minority (URM) population in STEM fields in the UnitedStates, and yet little is known about why so few Native Americans choose to pursue highereducation and careers in STEM fields. Recognizing that community and culture help shapestudents’ academic and personal development, it is important to consider how community andculture regard and experience the field of engineering and the role(s) that engineering could playwithin the community.This study

One form of SI analyzed in this study was lecturer and TA office hours,consisting of hour-long blocks during which attending students could ask questions about lecturematerial, homework assignments, exams, or group projects. Another form of SI consisted oflecturer-led review sessions, which were commonly held before exams in order to reviewmaterial, answer questions, and help students prepare for exams.MethodologyAll data were taken from (1) an IRB-approved survey administered to students enrolled inGeneral Chemistry for Engineers during the Fall 2015 semester and (2) grade and

that thegovernment investment and the professional categories have increased, as well as the scopeof college students raised year after year [1]. However, higher engineering education in Chinastill faces some problems, among which the most prominent problem is the separationbetween curricula setting and students' practical application [2-3]. On the one hand, thecurriculum setting still follows the typical deductive teaching approach to make sure that thestudents can understand and memorize each abstract concept. The basic theory courses,professional core courses, and practice courses are always well designed by variousspecialized teachers.

Although technical skills gained through physical samplingmay be reduced, the literature has shown a number of benefits associated with simulation andvirtual experimentation.
