Retrospective Analysis of the Effect of an Online Bridging Course Sequence on Student Success in Chemical Engineering Graduate Studies
Chemical Engineering Education, v58 n4 p235-239 2024
The outcomes of students who completed a ChE graduate bridging course sequence were compared against a group of students with ad hoc preparation. Bridging course students were found to have a modestly higher rate of graduate degree conferral and slightly lower graduate GPAs (though the GPA effect size was found to be small to medium) compared to ad hoc student preparation. Preparing students for ChE graduate school using bridging courses requires less time and monetary investment for students with similar outcomes.
