(NSF IUSE:EHR ESL Level 1 Grant)Motivation: Attrition is a significant issue for STEM undergraduate majors: on average 49% [1]of students transfer to another major or leave college completely by their 8th year of study, witheven greater rates for STEM majors who are under-represented minorities or women [2]. Otherthan financial barriers to retention, two primary drivers of attrition are reported to be difficulty inadjusting to academic and life needs and resolving educational and occupational goals [3].
