Those areas are the students’: 1.) preparation for college while in high school, 2.) studytechniques, and 3.) expectations about the curriculum in which they are starting. Focusingefforts to improve in these areas could lead to increased retention rates. The University ofArkansas Department of Mechanical Engineering plans to continue surveying its freshmanclasses in the effort to learn and monitor its progress in their regard.

course are discussed.Educational Objectives of the Finite Element CourseThis paper is in response to the national awareness that most engineers are well trained,but not particularly well educated in the fundamentals of the finite element method. Withthe significant number of publications available [5] on the theory, development and usageof the finite element method, it may be rather difficult for an instructor to identify aneffective plan of study. The educational objectives for a course depend on whether thestudent or practitioner is a user or a researcher/developer of the technology: • User. The user needs to learn the proper use of the finite element method for the solution of complex problems. This will require fundamental

coursework, extended study plans, and elevated expectations might potentially be harmfulto their psychological well-being [2]. It is important to understand that anybody may have mentalhealth issues, including engineering students, and that seeking support is a sign of strength ratherthan weakness [3]. Maintaining excellent mental health requires many self-care practices,including regular exercise, a nutritious diet, getting enough sleep, and engaging in fun and stress-relieving activities [4]. However, because engineering school comes with a lot of duties, studentscould occasionally find it challenging to prioritize their health.The expert assistance of mental health professionals, such as counselors or therapists, may beextremely beneficial to

It took him some time to figure out that the courses he dropped the previoussemester counted towards this limit. At the time of withdrawing from classes, he was not advisedof this consideration. When recounting the situation, he expressed disappointment that he hadn'tbeen informed of the policy and counseled on alternatives (such as medical withdrawal, whichmay not have counted toward the cap on credits) and planned financially for his final semester.Engineering curricula are notoriously crowded with specific degree requirements and littleflexibility, which is not necessarily taken into consideration when

. Eventhough the proposed framework can serve as a template to design a course-wide game for anycourse, the focus of this paper was how to utilize it to motivate exploratory learning of studentsthat go beyond the basics of a STEM course. Three cases studies were conducted in threedifferent engineering and science discipline, all of which demonstrated positive impact onstudents learning.The implementation of the proposed gamification framework requires a significant amount ofupfront game design work and manual effort to maintain the game during the course, which maypose a challenge for instructors. To overcome this, we plan to explore the possibility ofautomating a portion of the gamification-related tasks, such as automated tracking of gamestatistics

Engineering identity can be defined in whole by how much a student seesthemselves as an engineer (Tonso 2006). Alternatively, EI can be defined in a multi-dimensionalway, including performance/competence, interest, and recognition (Hazari, et al. 2010, Carloneand Johnson 2007).
