experience the so-called“sophomore slump” [8]. In a 2014 survey, 33.2% of sophomore students expresseddissatisfaction with their experiences in academic advisement and 22.4% in faculty interactions.Another national report provides more detailed insights, highlighting sophomore students’dissatisfaction with experiences like limited academic engagement, a diminished sense ofbelonging, infrequent communication with academic advisors, and ongoing financial concerns[9]. The multitude of these negative sophomore experiences is believed to contribute to the“slump” collectively and are known to hinder students’ academic progression and deter themfrom persisting in their studies [7], [10]. Indeed, dissatisfaction with institutional services was aunique
“rather [sic] than condemn the use of standardized tests assummarily handicapping different segments of the population, as some individuals have done,we might do better to concern ourselves with issues such as group differences in academicpreparation, individual differences in course and major selection in college, and possibledifferential grading standards in college courses.”[48] He suggests that this may have more to dowith the differences than the traditionally through theory of gender bias in standardized tests.Robert Eskew and Robert Faley[15] echo the same sentiments when they studied particularaccounting courses taken.

Perhaps such things as a clearly formulated hypothesis, astrong grounding in the related literature, a defined methodology, and a concern for validity andreliability come to mind as expectations within your field of practice. A minimum level ofscholarship is expected in the performance of research in all engineering disciplines. Anindividual undertaking serious research would not attempt to publish a technical manuscript in ajournal or present findings at a conference without meeting the rigorous expectations asestablished by the academic community. Then why is it that these commonly understoodrigorous standards are so

Rather, they cited general interests in math, problemsolving, and creativity, as well as family influences, all factors that are challenging for theengineering education community to address.These findings demonstrate that relative to its ease of administration, a five minute survey canindeed help to anticipate student performance and retention. Its minimalism enables easyimplementation in an introductory engineering course, where it serves not only as a research tool,but also as a pedagogical aid to help students and teacher discover student perceptions aboutengineering and customize the curriculum appropriately.IntroductionStudent attrition within engineering programs has remained an issue for decades at
