What’s Next? From Analysis to ActionAbstractThis paper describes how data-driven examination of barriers to successful completion ofundergraduate engineering degrees amongst female-identifying and under-represented minority(URM) students at Seattle University has shaped the development of new policies and programswithin the College of Science and Engineering to better support students from underrepresentedor marginalized groups. This study is a continuation of a project in which we first analyzedgraduation data to extract characteristics that differentiate students who do or do not successfullycomplete degrees within engineering. We followed the data analysis with a survey to betterunderstand the experiences of students from underrepresented or

Further, the recent popularity of reality-television provides the evidence ofthe entertainment value from a task-oriented competition.Like other institutions, the Engineering Technology programs at the University of Daytonhave also introduced design competitions throughout the curriculum. Because thebusiness environment is dynamic, we as educators are continuously seeking opportunitiesto improve our processes. Therefore, in an effort to increase student exposure to realisticbusiness situations, we have extended these competitions and integrated a portion of theminto our industry-sponsored senior project course.

The field of distance education has alsogrown rapidly incorporating substantial improvements in the use of media, pedagogies, andrelated technologies.The advent of new accreditation criteria in EC 2000 provided the stimulus for engineeringeducators to reevaluate programs and curriculum, an exercise that also led many to reconsiderteaching methods and learning styles. Coincident with this movement was the emergence of newtechnologies offering the potential to permanently alter the traditional classroom experience.The challenge has been to exploit these technologies in a way that enhances the learningexperience without overly burdening faculty or compromising their role in the education process.The primary objective of this project was to

They particularly need tounderstand how to communicate using tables, graphs, diagrams and equations. Something theymay not have been taught in high school English or first-year composition.Writing also helps our students develop their thinking. Brent and Felder2 note that “The processof writing and thinking are fundamentally and powerfully linked.” In addition it helps themdevelop a thoughtful, careful and detailed approach to engineering problem solving.

on which 2-year institution they are coming from.We compare our findings to nationally available data. It has been our experience that, typically, transfer students are more mature than first-year students and therefore more motivated to study engineering. However, research also showsthat many transfer students face academic, social, and/or psychological challenges leading to lowGPAs in their first year after transferring1. We believe that any recruitment strategy should startwith analyzing the success and motivation of current students. Our exploration provided us withseveral approaches, which, we hope, should yield increased enrollment and improve the overallprocess of recruitment, admission, and first quarter advising.

Marra,Palmer and Litzinger (2000) assessed students’ intellectual growth through a longitudinal study ofstudents’ intellectual development based upon Perry’s model [16]. Their analysis showed thatstudents’ design experiences had positive relationship with students’ intellectual development.Likewise, with the application of Perry’s theory, Pavelich and Moore (1996) argued thatengineering curriculum with extensive experiential components positively influenced students’intellectual growth [20].
