). 1Stickiness as a metric of successStickiness is a relatively new metric that has been proposed to gauge the long-term success ofacademic programs (Ohland, Orr, Layton, Lord, & Long, 2012). This metric is touted as a way todetermine how much students “stick” to a particular major once it is their chosen course of study(Ohland et al., 2012). Stickiness of any degree program, currently, is calculated by dividing thenumber of students that graduate from a specific major by the number of students that havedeclared that major at any point in time and is expressed as a percentage (Ohland et al., 2012).Additionally, the researchers that proposed this metric applied it to many different sub-groups tosee which ones tend to stick to a particular program.

Thislack of knowledge and skills, which are critical for life-long learning, present a hurdle forengineering graduates who must constantly renew and expand their skills in our rapidly changingknowledge-based society. While research on college students’ general self-directed learning andinformation-literacy skills is rich, many of these studies and related assessment instruments focuson topics in social science and rarely explicitly include, or are specific to, engineering. Inaddition, while there are assessment instruments that address these skills, most of them focus oninformation search skills

This study investigates graduate students’computational practices that inform their problem-solving processes to accomplish a design task.In this paper we define computational practices as a system of activities carried out to createsymbolic representations. These representations refer to simplifications of systems or artifactsthat delete, maintain and distort aspects of a phenomenon in order to support scientific inquiryand design activity.

. Engineering education research has turned toaffective dimensions of learning to better understand how to transform students' aspirations toengineering careers into pursuit of those pathways. One direction this research has taken isunderstanding engineering identity as a "key" to better understand student motivation to selectengineering majors, persist to graduation, and proceed into industry. A few studies haveassociated engineering identity with persistence and degree completion, but none have been ableto longitudinally assess whether a change in engineering identity is associated with likelihood ofretention in an engineering major.The purpose of this study was to test the relationship between engineering identity and retentionin an engineering
