Most institutions have dedicated a significant amount ofresources to recruiting and retaining their female students and students from underrepresentedgroups.Seymour and Hewitt identified several reasons why students leave science, math, andengineering majors.5 Reasons related to competence, confidence, persistence, assertiveness,interest in the discipline, interest in the career, and a support system. As summarized byMatusovich, Steveler, and Miller,6 “…choices to leave SME fields tend to reflect the reasonsthey originally chose SME fields.

Also,each problem had been carefully designed to identify conceptual errors or misconceptions,without the need for mathematical computation.6 Additionally, the developer of CATS, Dr.Steif, has identified a set of distinct errors that reflect known misconceptions exhibited bystudents based on his experience and occurrence in student documentation.9 Table 3 presents alist of these errors and their descriptions.

indicated a greater preference to select astudent without previous research experience. This is disappointing since NSF states that a goalof the REU program is to expose students to a research experience. Despite the variability in thefaculty preference for under-represented students, the average score for this criterion made it the3rd highest rated item. This is important since increasing diversity is a stated goal of the NSFREU program. The variability in the GPA criteria may reflect our historical success for anyonewith a GPA above 3.0, and little correlation between student success on the research project andGPA.The faculty survey on the increased abilities in the undergraduate students due to the summerresearch experience was administered in

Green flags indicate that expectations arebeing met, while yellow flags indicate that correction may be needed. Red flags indicate that animmediate corrective action is needed. Other assessments are qualitative in nature. For example,the faculty meets at the end of each semester to discuss courses just completed.

Since scheduling is the key for the design ofreal-time embedded systems, our undergraduate computer science and engineering studentsare being instructed in the mature results from research of real-time scheduling, includingalgorithms such as rate monotonic, earliest deadline first, and least-laxity first. In particular,they are being taught the concepts of

A formal schedule also represents anassessment tool for the implementation project. The COE schedule is used to set the agenda for the approximatelybiweekly meetings of the Assessment Coordination Committee and is reviewed at each meeting.

For instance, if X students drop out orgraduate by the end of a semester, they will be removed from subsequent analyses, ensuring thatthe remaining students constitute the entire study cohort for subsequent persistence analyses.The study will acknowledge the dynamic nature of student enrollment, and robust measures willbe employed to handle attrition. The removal of students who exit the program will ensure thatanalyses reflect the evolving composition of the sample, contributing to the accuracy andrelevance of the findings.ConclusionIn conclusion, this study undertakes comprehensive exploration of the factors influencingengineering student persistence, with a particular focus on the impact of Calculus I.

In all cases, the training of students should becommensurate with the prospects of their career plans and expectations of their potentialemployers. Thus, for instance, within UI-dominated disciplines, there should be a greateremphasis on providing resources for establishing industrial connections.Lastly, the findings highlight the importance of refining academic course plans and institutionalsupport for effective doctoral training.

and in identifying formal evaluation criteria that robustlycapture whether skills have been acquired. Of interest is whether tools can be developed thatprovide more robust formative assessment of a modeling activity. This contrasts with summativeassessment approaches which largely benefits the assessor in reducing grading times byevaluating the result but can miss important tendencies in a student designer that might need tobe corrected. For this to be feasible better metrics that reflect how a modeling activity isprogressing not just with respect to realizing a final shape goal, but also in capturing designintent and meeting best practices is needed.

Themain takeaways typically regard:• The criticality of due process, the formality of investigations, and the correct handling/ interpretation of evidence.• The power of perception, and how remaining impartial is paramount when the stakes are so high.• The nuance and broadness of engineering as a profession and skillset.
