Undergraduate Research Assistantships (URAs) for the womenhonors students.Introduction - RISER program interventions for improving early retentionRetention of freshmen female engineering students associated with any of the honors programs,or taking the honors version of EF, was a concern at the time the proposal was submitted. In2010 this group was low in total number but the percentage of these women leaving engineeringduring their freshmen year was high. The PI’s believed that one reason for this was that most ofthese young women were concerned about their career path having a clear connection to beingbeneficial to society. The RISER URA program was initiated for these students to buildmentoring relationships with faculty members, senior researchers

This dimension enables the individual to ask questions about risks andbenefits when introduced to a new technology, and to participate in discussions and debatesabout the uses of that technology.In addition to these three cognitive dimensions, The NAE defined four content areas: (1)technology and society, (2) design, (3) products and systems, and (4) characteristics, concepts,and connections. Finally, an assessment matrix was proposed that combined the four contentareas with the three cognitive dimensions. This matrix is shown in Figure 1 which is

Surprisingly, poor service and treatment, the feeling that college education is just notworth it, and the indifference students perceive from the college or university are among themajor factors that affect retention and success.

Specific feedback was asked of the Engineeringstaff, as they are “content experts” in their field, and their expertise is highly valued.

The first initiative is on the social front; students are paired with a studentmentor, a senior in the major, for guidance and social support. The second initiative ismetacognitive; students take a course on study habits, test-taking skills, resilience, and formingstudy groups. The third initiative is academic.

According to an AmericanSociety for Engineering Education (ASEE) report from 2018, between 2013 and 2016, the totalnumber of students who received bachelor’s degrees in civil engineering declined by 8% in theU.S. [1]. This decrease creates some concerns because the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)projects employment with nearly 140,000 new jobs expected for engineers over the 2016–26decade, meaning in perspective, there will be a high demand for engineering graduates [2].

Engineering faculty identify severalbarriers to adopt active learning strategies. Such barriers include, but are not limited to, lack offamiliarity with the practices, inadequate time to apply new teaching practices to their courses, andthe possibility of student resistance (Anderson & Finelli, 2014).
