Pre-College Interactions, Early Expectations, and Perceived Barriers: Are There Differences for Underrepresented Engineering Students?
One of the most significant challenges facing engineering education is the chronic problem of inclusion and retention of underrepresented groups, including women, certain racial and ethnic groups, and students whose parents did not complete college. An exploratory comparative study was conducted to investigate how engineering-related interactions prior to college and perceived barriers during e...
متن کاملConversations about Phanerozoic Global Diversity
-The emergence of Phanerozoic global diversity as a central theme of investigation has resulted from a confluence of factors, including the assembly by several researchers of global taxonomic databases; the advent of computers, which permitted construction and analysis of global Phanerozoic diversity trajectories; and the recognition that Phanerozoic diversity trends are important bellwethers o...
متن کاملIncreasing Persistence in Undergraduate Science Majors: A Model for Institutional Support of Underrepresented Students
The 6-yr degree-completion rate of undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors at U.S. colleges and universities is less than 40%. Persistence among women and underrepresented minorities (URMs), including African-American, Latino/a, Native American, and Pacific Islander students, is even more troubling, as these students leave STEM majors at significantly highe...
متن کاملThe Contradictory Roles of Institutional Status in Retaining Underrepresented Students in Biomedical adn Behavioral Science Majors
This study drew from a national longitudinal dataset to statistically model students’ background, first-year college experience, and institutional characteristics that contribute to the chances of persisting in a biomedical or behavioral science major through the first-year of college. Of particular interest was the extent to which institutional status affects those chances for underrepresented...
متن کاملMisconceptions About Sound Among Engineering Students
Our first objective was to detect misconceptions about the microscopic nature of sound among senior university students enrolled in different engineering programmes (from chemistry to telecommunications). We sought to determine how these misconceptions are expressed (qualitative aspect) and, only very secondarily, to gain a general idea of the extent to which they are held (quantitative aspect)...
