A Research Study of Student Success for Engineering Majors Compared to Other STEM Majors
University of Michigan, 2008
One of the objectives of this research was to understand why Michigan has a high freshman retention rate for the science, math and engineering majors. This research question was explored using the CIRP survey to define incoming freshmen's values, expectations, and high school experiences. A statistical model was developed to predict academic success as measured by the student's first year GPA and persistence to the second year.
