The pilot is an initial effort to test the project’s aims ofintegrating institutional data with phenomenological data to model student progression throughpost-secondary STEM programs. The analysis will identify and verify influencers that support orhinder student success. Quantitative data analyses will consist of descriptive and comparativemethods, which will be verified and informed by open coding and thematic analysis of thequalitative data.

However, studio-basedcurricula are an anomaly in construction education; there are only two construction programs inthe U.S. with a studio- or project-based curriculum. Despite this, construction managementprograms present an ideal environment in which to apply the studio pedagogical model. Thecomplexity of the construction industry and its processes and the fact that project-based learningis appropriate to a process that requires multiple players to collaborate to design, create, produce,and provide physical buildings underscores the appropriateness of this educational model.Studios are based on several key unique characteristics of their relative

However, engineering faculty have recognized and acknowledged theneed to implement problem-based pedagogies earlier in the program (Lima, Carvalho, Flores, &van Hattum-Janssen, 2007) to provide early opportunities to develop and integrate technicalskills, process skills (e.g., problem solving skills, communication and team work skills)(Simcock, Shi, & Thorn, 2008; Town & McGill, 2008), to demonstrate linkages

These include degree programs and non-degree programs.4.1 Degree programsTo address the issues of social equity and inclusion while keeping the goals of “CS for all” in mind,academic institutions have created and launched Master of Science programs in Computer Science(MS in CS) for non-CS majors. Those programs often take 2-3 years to complete and typicallyconsist of a bridge (also called conversion) curriculum. The curriculum is intended to preparenon-CS majors with the core learning outcomes of an undergraduate CS degree before they begintheir core MS in CS courses [31]. Although the motivations and structures are similar, detailsvary among those programs, especially for the bridging curriculum. According to Herbert

cooperative learning can be especially effective in a first-year engineering curriculum.Smith (1993) describes the development of an introductory engineering course that emphasizesactive and cooperative learning. The course is centered on model building as a process thatstudents can and should be actively engaged in. The course is supported by a text, Starfield et al.(1994), that emphasizes the active learning of modeling. LeBanc (1998) indicates that problemsolving is an acquired skill; the more students practice it, the better they get. A good alternativefor including problem-solving skills in the curriculum is to incorporate it in an introductoryengineering course for freshmen. References [2, 11, 15] all discuss the need for an

Higher educationhas also lagged behind in incorporating Lean and Six Sigma philosophies into theeducational curriculum.

The results showed that atthe time 45 of the 55 programs had a dedicated course in safety, primarily offered at thejunior/senior level, concentrating on OSHA standards for construction. Less than half of theprograms at the time provided an OSHA outreach training certificate to the students, while75% of the program faculty surveyed stated that they address safety in other courses.A survey of employers from 27 firms was conducted in 1998 by Smith and Arnold [12],which focused on the

Yet,there is a dearth of literature on the need for framing those problems through a culturallyresponsive lens.
