STEM attrition among high-performing college students: Scope and potential causes

The study finds that about a quarter of high-performing beginning bachelor’s degree students entered STEM felds (i.e., declared a STEM major) during their enrollment between 2003 and 2009, and about a third of these entrants had lef STEM felds by spring 2009. The results of multnomial probit regression analysis indicate that students’ intensity of STEM coursework in the frst year and their performance in STEM courses may have played an important role in their decisions to switch majors out of STEM felds.

Integrating Technology in STEM Education

Students have access to the Internet at their fngertps via e-tablets and smart phones. However, the STEM felds are struggling to remain relevant in students’ lives outside the classroom. In an efort to improve high school science curricula and to keep students engaged in the classroom, we developed a technology-rich bioengineering summer program for high school students in grades 9-12. The program utlized touch screen technology in conjuncton with hands-on experiments and traditonal lecturing to create an entertaining, relevant, and efectve classroom experience.

The use of e-portfolio in a linear algebra course

The use of e-portfolio becomes a standard tool when it comes to learning and student's assessment. This is due to the teachers need for enhancing their students’ autonomy. The use of e-portfolio helps students to focus on their own learning process. Lectures should not be limited only to classes, but must foster active learning, and in this regard, the introduction of the e-portfolio is an excellent tool because it stimulates collaborative and cooperative work among students and, in turn, it encourages feedback by the teacher.
