The long-term goal is to increase the numberof highly qualified students who graduate with degrees in CS from UTEP.The overall strategy is to foster a culture of scholarship among students at all levels througheffective teaching and learning approaches in the introductory CS sequence where students mustacquire deep understanding of the key fundamental concepts in CS for success later in theprogram. Specifically, Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL)4, 5 is the mechanism we have adoptedand adapted to foster this culture of scholarship.

leaders were more of a guide on the side than a sage on thestage.This program review is in spirit of the recent evolution of engineering programs that began in theUSA in the mid-80. Some studies of the National Research Council, the National Science Board,The American Society for Engineering and the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology revealed that engineering education has a tendency to produce scientists instead ofdesign oriented engineers. This was reflected, in recent studies, and in the comments fromemployers about the background of new engineers (2,3). However, the engineering curriculumshould maintain a solid background in mathematics and science with emphasis in design andproblem-solving-based learning in an engineering

among the methods that have been used for dropout riskprediction [3], [9], [14], [15]. While some studies have found that academic rigor is a contributorto dropout, several studies have found that non-academic factors such as lack of confidence, lackof teacher-student interaction, poor quality of teaching, and lack of belonging also affect astudent’s decision to drop out [10], [13], [16], [17]. Many studies have also found that a higherproportion of ethnic minorities and women are dropping out, though a few studies have foundthese demographic factors to not be as influential as other non-academic factors [10], [13], [17].We propose a framework for better understanding dropouts from engineering before graduation,which uses data commonly

Research findings of similar studies with different populations of graduate andundergraduate engineering and business students in different rigorous academic programshad shown that people do not naturally think systemically.
