environment. Chaya and Silverman 1 discuss an alternate approach thatincludes integrating business concepts into ECE courses. They describe an alternative scenariothat they designated the "venture capital" (VC) approach. It retains the important feature inwhich corporate representation is retained but requires students to initiate their own projects (asopposed to providing a request for proposals). They also suggest that the industrial andcorporate roles that engineering graduates play has greatly broadened as a consequence of theemergence of the “global” character of economic activity. Accordingly, objectives forengineering design has shifted from those characterized mainly by practical consideration (e.g.,component, system, or process design) to

IntroductionIn the College of Engineering at NC State University, measures of student success such asretention, matriculation, and graduation rates had remained largely unchanged for decades. Abenchmark study, and review of the literature, on student success in undergraduate engineeringeducation revealed several practices not adopted within the college. From this insight a set ofprocesses/programs aimed at pre-college, first-time fulltime, and transfer students weredeveloped into the

DBR is a method that was developed toaddress the limitations of laboratory experiments in the social and behavioral sciences. Findingthat very few, even well-tested laboratory studies had impact on actual teaching and learning,researchers developed DBR as a way to test theories about how learning can be supported. DBRinvolves building a theory that takes context seriously and instantiating the theory into a designfor learning [46]. Iterative testing of the design under real world conditions provides anopportunity to assess both the design and the theory [5], [6].We were guided by the following research questions:RQ 1: How do sophomores’ and

This isespecially problematic when considering preferences in approaches and cultural differences thatmay further contribute to how each population best performs. For example, many design featuresof software are considered exclusionary for females, based on gender differences in motivationsto use the software or in willingness to accept risks [31]. There are also differences in technicalinterview performance (time to solve and correctness) when the setting is public versus private[23]. Post-hoc analysis in this study illustrated that women’s performance improved substantiallywhen problem-solving in a private setting.In this research, we sought to examine students’ perceptions of technical

While NC grades may be considered a negative impact on retention and graduation, they are less detrimental to a student’s success than Fs. Using the NC policy as an intervention helps bring about behavior change and thus increases the number of returning students.2.
