Many schools donot have robust data systems to provide retention numbers and other data analysis required tomeasure the success of their programs. By developing these programs in house, in addition toproviding basic overall retention numbers, it allows for an expansion of the measurement ofretention into several categories and subcategories which helps to provide a more in-depthanalysis of student success programs.Initial findings over the first two years indicate that these learning communities are having asignificant impact on the retention of the students not only at the university level but also in thecollege of engineering.

That is why ateam is required. A team’s success is also strongly dependent on team culture. A strong teamculture relies on effective communication, vision, and trust [10]. While educators recognize theimportance of project management and team culture, simply relying on the capstone experiencefor students to naturally develop, practice, and master this skill set may not be prudent. Studentteams regularly fail to meet faculty members’ expectations in terms of project management andstruggle to develop a productive team culture. This deficit can be addressed in many ways butfirst

Interestingly, when students identified their CoI as a type ofsurrounding, they less-frequently identified physical attributes of the classroom as non-supportive.Thus, the presence of a Community of Inquiry may have diminished the perception or impact ofphysical room features. Overall, our results preliminarily suggest the positive influence that aninteractive flipped classroom structure can have on students’ perceptions of their “surroundings.”1
