The majority of coordinators reported high retention. Those programsare likely to increase their institution’s 6-year graduation rate; however, the presence of 6 lowretention programs indicates that ELCs are not a miracle cure. Scenarios exist where ELCs donot lead to high retention.IntroductionThe purpose of this study was to identify and describe Engineering Learning Communities(ELC) at US four-year institutions in 2012.

Though some quantitative research has been done across engineering andstudies have been focused within a few specific disciplines, the epistemic beliefs and, morebroadly, practices of chemical engineering students and faculty has yet to be investigated. Thus,this study aims to begin to characterize the epistemic beliefs within the chemical engineeringacademic environment.

Communication skills are of critical importance in science,technology, engineering and math (STEM) areas. However, communication is often a topic notdirectly emphasized by STEM educators in the courses they teach. One form of communicationthat is increasing in significance due to advances in digital technology is digital video. Video isnow a primary source of information, yet most people are only consumers not creators of video.In essence, they are not literate in a common form of communication.In this study, we explored the impact of

The first questionthat needs greater study is whether students feel greater pressure to multitask when they have theopportunity in the classroom. In other words, if they are listening to a lecture, do they feel theyshould really be trying to get some other work done at the same time? Do instructors perceivestudent multitasking in the classroom as a growing problem? If they do, are instructors changinghow they conduct class to counteract that behavior?A second research question worth pursuing
