Specifically, a centrifuge experiment was introduced in undergraduatecourses to examine the performance of a shallow footing constructed on a deposit made of drysand. The following learning outcomes were set for the module. As a result of participating in themodule/lab, students will be able to: a) better understand current principles of geotechnical and foundation engineering by experiencing the actual response of soils and soil-foundation systems; b) design

. Page 23.132.2Research has shown that, on average, undergraduates leave STEM fields for academic and socialreasons.4,5 Other empirical evidence consistently shows that college student success isinfluenced, at least in part, by social and psychological factors such as support/encouragement,campus climate, and personal interest in STEM. For example, Seymour conducted a three-yearstudy of 330 STEM undergraduates and concluded that students leave STEM because: (a) theybelieve that non-STEM careers offer greater intrinsic interest, (b) they lose interest in STEM, or(c) they reject the lifestyle associated with STEM careers.4 Family, peer, faculty member, andmentor support affects academic achievement,6 especially among AA males7 and URMs inSTEM
