A Longitudinal Study of Eight Engineering Colleges using the SUCCEED Longitudinal Database

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This work is proposed as a starter grant to support a follow-on effort to PFSIVIETE fellowshipgrant number 9896381, "A Longitudinal Study of Eight Engineering Colleges using theSUCCEED Longitudinal Database." The primary goal of the original fellowship was to prioritizefactors that contribute to engineering student success by studying programs designed to helpengineering students at nine institutions. The breadth of data required to conduct such an analysiscould not be collected within the fellowship tenure, so this greater goal remains a subject forcontinuing research. During the fellowship tenure, a number of individual studies werecompleted, and results from these have been published or are being developed in collaborationwith the investigators who originally designed and implemented the programs under study. Thisrequest asks for support necessary to complete the study of data already collected and to collectadditional data needed to begin to address the more aggressive goal of characterizing factors thatcontribute to engineering student success. The Southeastern University and College Coalition forEngineering Education (SUCCEED) will continue to significantly leverage this work.
