factor that has remained constant over    this period of time is students communicating their impression and belief that STEM majors are“hard”. Parents and society express the same impression.A recent New York Times article attributes some of this hardness to tough introductory math andscience classes. The article included the following quote from a student (with 800 Math SATand reading and writing scores in the 700’s) who switched from mechanical engineering topsychology during fall of their sophomore year: “I was trying to memorize equations, and engineering’s all about the application, which they really didn’t teach too well,” he says. “It was just like, Do these practice problems, then you’re on your own”.5Seymour and

This method has been shown to improve student learning[4]–[6], especially if integrated with peer discussion.Though the method has been shown to be a valuable form of formative assessment offeringinstant feedback to the students, the method also has its drawbacks.

The in-state tuition is one of the lowest in the country among four year nationalresearch universities, and provides access to engineering for a high number of students who maynot otherwise afford it.

Rohnke and Butler state that “the leader/facilitator doesn’t provide allthe answers to the group; primarily the participants learn from each other.” 15 The authors go on tocontrast leading versus facilitating by stating “leading the group – helping them to learn – orfacilitating – helping them to learn from each other.” 15Role-based learning also lends itself well into integration with problem based learning.
