Use of Industry Standard Certification as an Early Indicator of Retention within an Engineering Program Mary Mederos, Jennie M. Daigler, Morgan Green Department of Mechanical Engineering, Mississippi State UniversityAbstractRetention of students within an engineering program can be a challenge. Many factors, such asself-efficacy, standardized test scores and performance in lower-level courses, have been studiedin relation to student persistence within a program. Many innovative solutions have beenimplemented to increase retention rates. Mississippi State University (MSU) implemented theCertified SolidWorks Associate Exam – Academic Exam (CSWA), an industry-standardcertification for a

and related fields inthe last few years. Industrial and systems engineering (ISE) and supply chain management(SCM) online programs are among the fastest growing online programs. This paper includes asurvey of some current teaching trends and study plans from top ISE and SCM online graduateprograms. There is a common ground between ISE and SCM. In general, there are some similarcourses in the two fields and an overlap in the study plans; this is more obvious in theundergraduate level. This paper introduces a comparison between the ISE and SCM onlineprograms at the master’s degree level. The survey of this study can be used to develop a graduateonline curriculum for an up-to-date program that combines ISE and SCM.KeywordsEngineering Education

Project-based activities such as AIMS-relatedworkshops offered by the university will be assessed to measure learning outcomes associatedwith engineering self-efficacy, judgment, and leadership skills.Engineering self-efficacy (ESE) is an individual’s belief in their capability to act in the waysnecessary to reach specific goals. Judgment about one’s abilities can influence behavior and goalattainment. We hypothesize that the groups’ self-guidance during the hackathon will improvetheir ESE related to applying AIMS concepts. Next, engineering judgment (EJ) is an individual’sability to make and justify decisions and predict the resulting consequences. EJ is developed inparallel with engineering

This one-credit hour course is intended to prepare students to take the FE exam. All students in the program arerequired to sit for the FE exam by the time they graduate. CIVL 412 is structured around practice FE testscreated in partnership with PPE Headquarters, an engineering testing preparation company. Every three-week module, students work through a group of topics starting with an initial assessment practice exam,then use “homework modules” to review the key concepts within the topics, and finally take a masteryexam. The goal of this structure is to not only review
