Education: New Perspectives on a Student-centered Metric of SuccessAbstract. Retention in undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)programs is a national problem. Although many studies have attempted to identify characteristicsof students at high risk of attrition and other interventions to aid these populations, few haveadequately questioned the metric of success itself: retention. To be specific, “retention” tracks onlythe percentage of students who begin their undergraduate career in a chosen major and successfullymatriculate, which may be too coarse of a measure for several reasons: (1) it counts as successesstudents who remain in an initially chosen STEM major, but flounder, (2) it counts as failuresstudents

Chemistry is taught in all the secondary schools in Nigeria and one is expected to obtain acertain grade in chemistry as one of the entry requirements into major STEM fields [11]. Ideally,students can find chemistry programs that support their interests in academic or educationalgoals, graduate school education, medical and health professions, biotechnology education,business or as a complement to other studies in the natural science, humanities or social sciences.Chemistry is required both as a university matriculation examination subject and as an entryqualification into engineering and other STEM related fields.

The University of AlaskaFairbanks (UAF) College of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics through the newlydeveloped Arctic Energy Technology Development Laboratory (AEDTL) has a vested interest inresearch related to hybrid power systems in remote villages of Alaska. This project provides anavenue for student involvement in responding to the challenge of promoting research anddevelopment of energy technologies in Arctic regions. The availability of an existing system in arural Alaskan village from which data has been collected provides the students with the basis forthe design. The

the fall semester of2018. During the COVID-19 pandemic the number decreased from 248 in the spring semester of2020 to 163 in Spring 2023. The decrease in the enrollment of undergraduate mathematicsmajors has been partly due to a change in the UTeach Program for mathematics majors on ourcampus to become mathematics teachers and the related teaching certification process. Clearly,we all need to work harder to maintain or increase the number of our mathematics majors.Figure 1.

The reduction of the price of such equipment from $60,000 or $100,000to less than $10,000 will be of special benefit to universities and other agencies in developingnations who face serious earthquake–related threats, but cannot currently afford to purchase theequipment

. IntroductionIn academics, there is a need for drawing the best students into engineering as well as retainingthem. One approach to doing this is to have engineering projects as part of the curriculum topique their interest in the field. Using sports related projects is a good way to accomplish thissince most of the students have some experience by either participating or as a spectator. Inaddition to delivering material that the students can relate to, multi-disciplinary projects areuseful for demonstrating how several distinct course topics are needed to solve technicalproblems.In this paper, a class project in which the students design a golf ball using LS-DYNA isdescribed.

There are a couple of graduate programs in the field, which are not asefficient because very few professionals pursue any graduate studies. Typically the ComputerScience and related programs have been producing graduates who are working in the field. But thefeedback from the industry shows that these graduates don’t present sufficient skills in computersecurity.
