Direct linkLunn, Stephanie; Zahedi, Leila; Ross, Monique; Ohland, Matthew W. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2021
Although computing occupations have some of the greatest projected growth rates, there remains a deficit of graduates in these fields. The struggle to engage enough students to meet demands is particularly pronounced for groups already underrepresented in computing, specifically, individuals that self-identify as a woman, or as Black,…

Basavaraj, Prateek; Garibay, Ivan; Ozmen Garibay, Ozlem – Journal of Applied Research in Higher Education, 2022
Purpose: Postsecondary institutions use metrics such as student retention and college completion rates to measure student success. Multiple factors affect the success of first time in college (FTIC) and transfer students. Transfer student success rates are significantly low, with most transfer students nationwide failing to complete their degrees…

Cançado, Luciana; Reisel, John R.; Walker, Cindy M. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
Many interventions have been proposed to improve the retention and graduation rates of engineering students. One such intervention is to use study groups for first-year college students; such groups provide a structured environment in which the students can learn course material from each other outside of class and can provide the students with a…

Howles, Trudy – Computer Science Education, 2009
Student attrition and low graduation rates are critical problems in computer science education. Disappointing graduation rates and declining student interest have caught the attention of business leaders, researchers and universities. With weak graduation rates and little interest in scientific computing, many are concerned about the USA's ability…
