We have further divided the ‘during college’phase in three areas; academic, social, and professional integration based on prior work by Leeand Matusovich16, who undertook a multi-case study of six programs for under-representedstudents to develop a model for co-curricular support based on Tinto’s institutional departuremodel. The model included integration at academic, social, professional, and university levels.We excluded university integration as we did not find any solution in our review in that category. We summarise the solutions in Appendix b and describe them in the forthcoming sectionsbased on the four phases. We

Therefore, for an examinee to answer correctly item 1, he/she should have an understandingof the representation of weights. This cognitive attribute is directly related to errors 4 and 5 andwill be referred to as weight on block (attribute 4).

The questions on the concept inventory were chosen by at least two faculty from each sub-area of electrical engineering to represent conceptual knowledge that (a) all students should know without review, and (b) represent fundamental concepts that are taught to all students in the program. • The student’s grade point average was included as an indicator of overall academic ability. GPA has been used as a means to easily distinguish between students in forming teams 22. • Students self reported effort in the course. At the end of the course a short survey asked students to estimate the average number of hours per week spent on the capstone course over the semester
