Sowell, Bell, Kirby, andNaftel [5] found that financial support, mentoring and advising, family non-financial support,and social environmental/peer group support were among the top things that impactedattrition. Okahana, Allum, Felder, and Tull [6] further reported that institutional levelinterventions for URM STEM doctoral students were scant and limited in intervention focuswith most providing additional financial resources as the means to reduce attrition. Beyondthat, institutional-based support existed in the forms of peer support groups and mentoring.Mentoring in particular has been noted as a key intervention

arrive at many higher education institutions where these structures have been removed and expectations have shifted to self-directed learning outside of the classroom, initial struggle and sometimes failure become highly probable. There is limited evidence of teaching engineering students discipline-specific metacognitive strategies. A recent study conducted using modelling and coaching of discipline-specific metacognitive strategies in an introductory computer science course using peer tutors, showed that encouraging students to implement these learning strategies had a significant impact on their ability to apply knowledge to programming problems and also had long-term effects on students' future course outcomes.25 Two of the authors have also

Also after attending the camp, the girls should also be able to counter engineeringstereotypes among their peers and should be more able to recognize the impact of engineering ona personal, social, and community level. Increasing the girl’s’ positive engineering interestthrough the Girlgeneering camp should result in increased recruitment to engineering, science,technology, and math classes and careers.The unique components of the Girlgeneering camp are described later in this paper and include atailored individual hands-on engineering project for the girls, a high

Measuring the benefits of teams in a PBL environment is challengingas the instructor is responsible for assessing each student’s performance during the team project.The instructor is also responsible for providing the criteria for which learners will be assessedprior to students being placed in teams. Assessment techniques, such as, peer to peer and selfratings in group settings are known to have little measurement information and poor validity.However, these rating methods can contribute to a learners performance in a team settings (Boud& Feletti, 1998)4.Initially, assessment of work done in IT 214 is done from a purely individualistic standpoint;however, as the semester progresses

For instance, early in the first semester, most lectures would deal with subjectssuch as team dynamics, the design cycle, or concept generation and selection. As projects madeprogress, the lectures would attempt to follow the design cycle as best as possible. When theteams were ready to produce the first major design report, the lectures would feature a module ontechnical writing or graphics in engineering.This approach of “just-in-time” lectures worked well early during the early weeks of the course,however it is not possible to cram all project-relevant material in the first

First, there is an inefficiencyof instructor time, when time is lost while traveling (the instructor devotes three hours to teacha one hour class at the distant location). A dedicated distance room is required twice per week,and such rooms are in heavy demand and often difficult to schedule at our university. Finally,there is a potential for loss of engagement in the far cohort who views class through a screen,most often in lecture format, with limited interaction with peers or the instructor.
