courses. As the number of enrollments is increasing in programming courses, the use of these tests to gather data can take an instructor significant time to process. By the time a helpful prediction is indicated, it might be too late for a student to withdraw from the course or for an instructor to intervene and provide tailored support. The student traits such as cognitive, psychological, behavioral, or demographic may be helpful indicators of performance in other domains, but they take time to assess and are not directly related to the general programming behavior of a student. Therefore, new predictors of performance need to be explored in the programming domain that are not based upon indirect

byfour different constructs: attainment, intrinsic, utility, and cost values [25], [32]. In education,attainment value refers to how important students’ courses or other aspects of their education areto their identity. A student who identifies as an athlete will set attainment goals related to sportswhile a student who identifies as an engineer will ascribe value to skills, such as soldering orprogramming, which align with their chosen engineering discipline. While attainment valueemerges from a student’s internal identity, intrinsic value expresses students’ internal enjoymentin the pursuit of goals or tasks. Students who pursue engineering because they enjoy buildingthings, like programming, or are drawn to opportunities to serve society with

Since then, thegrant has been funded twice more; the current award period started in 2017 and will run until2021. As a requirement for the SEECS program, all students must participate in a community-based design project, undertaken for a non-profit entity in the local region. This project isnominally a two-year effort, though some projects have taken longer to complete.

Whenconsidering degrees in science and engineering, this percentage jumped to 31%. This same studycited three reasons that African Americans continue to attend HBCUs: 1) Significantly lowercost of living, tuition, and more generous financial aid packages. 2) Higher retention rates. 3)More likely to enter a program in sciences, engineering, and business.Benefits of increasing the number of college graduatesIncreasing the number of African American college graduates would provide many tangibleeconomic and social benefits to the nation and the individuals involved

In addition,demonstration of the equipment during open house events and the school’s summerMinority Engineering Advancement Program have generally met with a high level ofexcitement.

Engineering collaboration within team settings must “movebeyond the divide and conquer” approach (commonly observed) and instead operate in a dynamicand integrative mode that resembles actual industry (Richter and Paretti 2009). In order to encourage positive team development and performance, many factors need to beevaluated from the students’ perspective when formulating and structuring team related items(Mohammed and Mathieu 2002). An industrial and organizational psychology approach to de-signing teams, team projects, and team evaluations within documented engineering educationliterature has been limitedly established (Borrego et al. 2013).

In fact, as we define the skills-check, there seem to be no examples.Given the less critical nature of engineering practice (i.e. it is not as often that engineers need toapply skills in life-altering situations) this is perhaps not surprising.The studies which are reported in literature can be collected into a few general groups,understood in the context of the ABET program outcomes18.
