Many programs are also seeking toanswer this call by integrating more hands-on activities and active learning in lower-divisioncourses, which require more facilitation than the traditional large lectures. This sharply increasesthe need for teaching resources compared to traditional, large-lecture format courses. Because oftime and budget constraints, more and more engineering graduate students are assuming teachingresponsibilities, especially in introductory courses.In 2007, the last year for which data are available, more than 70,000 full-time graduate studentsin science and engineering

STUDENT RETENTION AND SATISFACTION IN COMPUTER SCIENCE SERVICE COURSES WHEN USING COMPETENCY-BASED GRADING AND ASSIGNMENT CHOICEAbstractEnrollment in introductory engineering courses, for non-Computer Science majors, often evokesapprehension, particularly when faced with the prospect of learning programming. The presenceof peers with prior coding experience can further compound these concerns. This study,applicable to a broad spectrum of engineering service courses, centers on student assignmentchoice within an undergraduate CS-1 curriculum.

However, with each new technological innovation, humans, deliberately orinadvertently, alter the balance of biotic and abiotic systems in the environment which oftendegrades the ability of ecosystems to persevere. In addition, the adoption of technologicalinnovation necessitates changes within our social systems (e.g., educational, legal, political, andeconomic systems) as individuals and communities coordinate their efforts to design, manage,use, and dispose of these technological products and by-products.As technology grows more complex and ubiquitous, it is increasingly important that all

Unlike many of my peers, I wasvery interested in the humanities, social sciences, and professional development courses that Itook during my undergrad and was often teased for spending too much time on them. Thesecombined academic and social experiences eventually led to lower confidence and a feeling ofunpreparedness. This resulted in a hesitancy to get summer internships and go out into the field.
