feelingof loneliness and isolation associated with online learning have detrimental effects on thelearning and mental well-being of the students involved. Students in online classes are morelikely to drop the course [18], less likely to take another class in the same subject area, and lesslikely to graduate [19]. A sense of belonging in an online learning community is important forthe learner’s degree of emotional participation [20]. Higher amounts of interaction in a course,both quantitatively and qualitatively, increase students’ satisfaction in the course [15]. Therefore,higher levels of interaction are beneficial for both the students and the professors.One of the greatest factors that impacts a student’s experience in the course is the

The NSF S-STEM Scholarship is an excellentprogram, and I would highly recommend it to any student.ConclusionThere are numerous ways to measure success in a particular program: retention, graduation,increased GPA. One metric that we have observed is the increase in undergraduate researchactivity. Undergraduate research, as considered by George Kuh, is a high impact practice, whichgives undergraduate students the skills needed in the workforce and supports STEM gains [19,20]. Practices such as this and others, integrated in our NSF S-STEM program, are proving to beeffective in retaining students in their respective degree majors through graduation.

While the engineer’s education does not becomeoutdated, he or she must continually learn about new technologies as they evolve.
