Typically, the preparationfor these visits and accompanying reports could be generated quickly and often by a singleindividual. The data that was collected was often referred to as “bean counting” as the number ofcredits in mathematics, physics, design, thermodynamics, etc. were simply counted and enteredon a form. The evolution of the ABET 2000 Criteria has forced mechanical engineeringdepartments to reconsider the age-old methods of evaluating the education that is provided totheir students.According to Lohmann1, one of the most important pieces of the process is to gather largeamounts of data from a

The non-calculus-based courses omit the calculus necessary todescribe the physical phenomena to accommodate potentially lower math skills by those in non-STEM fields. In many cases, the omission of calculus requires assumptions resulting in poorerresults (for example, using average velocity in lieu of instantaneous velocity). Many universitiesalso offer calculus-based and non-calculus-based statistics courses to accommodate differentlevels of math skills generally found in different disciplines. Non-STEM students typically takenon-calculus-based statistics courses, while STEM students usually take calculus

However, the choice to persist may not be as binaryas these two terms would imply. The research reported here begins to unravel the complexitiesof persistence by looking at the choice to be an engineer as a process extending over time andinvolving continually motivated decisions. By taking the perspective of students who persist inearning

A person’s mindsetguides a great deal of how they approach life – and especially how one approaches education.Dweck defines two different mindsets: a “fixed mindset” and “growth mindset” [1]. Someonewith a fixed mindset believes that their intelligence is fixed and unchangeable. On the otherhand, someone with a growth mindset believes that their intelligence is changeable and can growas they learn more. Most people’s mindset lies along a continuum with these two mindsets
