Direct linkLopez, Jordan; Shaffer, Justin F. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2021
In our chemical engineering curricula, students may enroll in introductory thermodynamics as a prerequisite to or as a corequisite with material and energy balances (MEB). We sought to determine why students enrolled in these courses in a given sequence whether it impacts performance. Students' enrollment decisions were mostly based on logistics…

Boucher, Kathryn; Murphy, Mary; Bartell, Denise; Smail, John; Logel, Christine; Danek, Jennifer – Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 2021
Equity gaps in students' experiences and academic outcomes often exist in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) college courses, particularly early prerequisite courses. The Student Experience Project (SEP) is a collaboration between college instructors, university leaders, and national education and improvement organizations to…

Dwyer, Jessica H.; González-Espada, Wilson J.; de la Harpe, Kimberly; Meier, David C. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2020
The United States is not graduating enough science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors for the increasing number of available employment opportunities and national security needs. The purpose of this study was to quantify the magnitude of STEM attrition at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA), a military service academy…

Litowitz, Len S. – Journal of Technology Education, 2014
Technology & engineering teacher preparation programs at colleges and universities in the United States have been in a state of decline since the 1970's. In the fall of 2013 a study was conducted to compare the required curricula of the 24 undergraduate programs that maintain enrollment of 20 students or more in order to determine what a…

Do students really enroll in Introductory Geology because they think it is "rocks for jocks"? In this study, we examine the widely held assumption that students view geology as a qualitative and remedial option for fulfilling a general education requirement. We present the first quantitative characterization of a large number of…
