Engineering Education, 2007 PREDICTORS OF SUCCESS IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS: A TOOL FOR RETENTIONAbstractRetention is a significant issue in engineering education. The ability to identify factors in studentrecords which best predict academic success can be a very important tool in developing andimplementing the timely and focused interventions which are an essential part of a strategic planto improve retention rates. This paper presents a study conducted to improve retention rates byusing step wise regression to identify the most significant factors to predict undergraduate gradepoint average at the end of the freshman and sophomore years. The model examinesstandardized test scores, rank in high school class, and various

The implemented simulation gamecould enhance material retention and foster critical thinking among the students by increasingvisibility and illustrating the concerns of any supply chain. Moreover, several directedpresentations by speakers invited from diverse industries and ISM (Institute of Supply ChainManagement) were arranged to expose the students to some real case studies.

However, there are growing concerns about attrition ingraduate school, graduate students’ mental health, and the need to examine the engineeringdiscipline apart from the wider STEM context [7]-[10]. We planned to explore identity,motivation, and experiences of EGSs through three central research questions: 1. What are the identity and motivation profiles of engineering doctoral students, which are based on previous academic and research experiences in STEM? 2. How does the STEM community influence identity formation and motivational goal setting processes of engineering doctoral students? 3. How do these processes related to identity formation and motivation influence engineering graduate student

As for the development aspect all the efforts during thecourse should be driven to close the gap between the learner state entering the course and goalstate at the end of the course as well as the program. In this paper, the implementation andassessment of this view of a capstone course is studied.In this study, the course learning objectives are aligned with the Program Educational Objectivesand a set of Performance Indicator is developed.

. Conclusion and Future WorkThis study proposes and evaluates an AI-driven framework for automating the grading ofhandwritten Statics assignments. By integrating OCR and LLMs, the framework addresses thechallenges associated with manual grading, including inconsistencies, delays, and limitedfeedback. Preliminary results highlight significant reductions in grading time and variability, withMathpix software achieving high digitization accuracy, and LLMs demonstrating strong alignmentwith human benchmarks. Despite its potential benefits, the use of AI for grading raises importantethical considerations. One concern is the fear that automated grading could reduce the need forteaching assistants or faculty members, potentially affecting academic employment
