Rural students pursue post-secondary education at a lower rate than their urban and suburban counterparts. While the college choice process is complex for all students, it is important to further examine this process for rural students because they are an underserved population. This study utilized Perna's (2006) college choice model to examine…

The lack in process intensification (PI) training may be limiting processes to achieve sustainability goals. This project developed a hands-on course on intensified membrane processes to address knowledge gaps in PI. Bench-scale activities introduced concepts of membrane separation, operating engineering-scale modules provided a near-industrial…

Students' choices in higher education occupy a wide spectrum in recent academic and policy discussions. However, there has been little research on how government discourses on the knowledge-based economy shape, transform or influence students' choices at a micro-level. This paper uses a governmentality framework to link the ways in which the…
