Presentation Transcript
slide1. Pathways through CECS Majors, from first Engineering class Vibhav Durgesh, Mechanical Engineering, CECS<br>
slide2. Guiding Questions Student pathways in CECS: Focus on high DUF rate classes
COMP-110
CE-240
ECE-240
ME-209
MSE-227
Dependence of Major on performance in interdisciplinary classes
Correlating the performance in prerequisite and high DUF classes<br>
slide3. Overview of Data Pathways data
AY 2008
Major CS, CECM, ECE, MSEM, and ME
Analyze high DUF rate classes in CECS<br>
slide4. Findings Strong correlation between performance in prerequisite and high DUF rate classes
COMP-110 - Prerequisite MATH 150-A
ME-209 - Prerequisite MATH 150-A
CE-240 - Prerequisite PHY 220-A
ECE-240 - Prerequisite PHY 220-B
Students passing in high DUF rate classes and still dropping out of the program
ECE 240 – 7%
MSE-227 – 11%
CE 240 – 15%
COMP-110 – 24%
ME 209 – 25%<br>
slide5. Concluding thoughts Mentoring students passing high DUF rate classes
Preventing students from dropping out of the program
Student majors and their performance in ECE-240 and CE-240 is not correlated
Prerequisites are crucial for student success in high DUF rate classes
Next steps for work on this topic
Identify pathways for students passing high DUF rate classes and reasons for dropping out afterwards
Mentoring approaches to improve success in high DUF classes to improve overall graduation rates<br>
