A review of the Journal of Engineering Educationliterature shows that during the first five years of the journal’s history (1993-1998) only 6.5percent of the papers used laboratory as a keyword. This number reduced to an even lower 1percentage of 5.2 in the next five years (1998-2002) [3]. Laboratory curricula are often designedwith the goals of 1) relating theory to practice [4-8] and 2) increasing the motivation of studentsto pursue engineering education [9,10].

This may occur if they are misinterpreting or ignoring howothers perceive them [2], [5]. If self-awareness is our ability to see ourselves by becoming theobject of our attention [3], a lack of self-awareness may suggest that one cannot “see” orunderstand themselves internally. They cannot perceive how others may be perceiving thembecause they are unaware of the influence of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors on theirenvironment.

Another benefit in combining the courses is the increased alignment between the goalsof the M.Eng. program and the undergraduate program. Whereas the undergraduate programfulfills many ABET criteria through the technical execution of a capstone project [27,28], theM.Eng. program objectives are amenable to providing management experience morerepresentative of the kinds of industry positions M.Eng. graduates typically seek [22,25].

Understanding the complexity ofteaching practices requires more than simple statistics; it requires visualization that connects thedata to the lens through which it is being analyzed.

to improve student persistence.1 IntroductionTechnological innovation depends on a qualified and diverse engineering workforce [1, 2]. Toremain internationally competitive, the US needs to improve recruitment, retention, and prepara-tion of undergraduate engineering students, focusing particularly on improving the representationof underrepresented minorities [3]. This paper considers a broad range of factors that have beenfound to predict students’ persistence through the first year of undergraduate engineering school, Figure 1: SEVT, as presented in [5]with the goal of identifying potential interventions for improvement. The work is grounded in Situ-ated Expectancy Value Theory (SEVT), which describes and
