A second NASEM report recommends the integration of the social sciences with STEM “because nearly every major challenge the United States faces … requires understanding the causes and consequences of people’s behavior.”
Utilizing a holistic approach, its mission is to ensure that all students thrive in engineering and computerscience, particularly Latino, Black and women students, who are underrepresented in these fields. million research grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). I track them in retention.
Participants engage in research using statistics and computerscience to analyze real-world data on diseases like cancer and COVID-19. Working with Adelphi professors and research assistants, students tackle projects from the epidemiology of ALS, Parkinson’s, and heart disease to infectious disease modeling.
College of Science Mentoring and Inclusion Collaborative (COSMIC) Clemson University College of Science In COSMIC, enrolled students from eight affinity groups gain a keen sense of belongingness. Participants are assisted in securing a paid internship in the tech industry in one of three hub cities: Silicon Valley, Calif.;
These programs too often lead to “poor outcomes, including poor retention, poor graduate employability, and poor long-term earnings potential,” the authors said. Besides, the humanities cloak an intensely practical side beyond the analytical and communication skills they grow: Shakespeare teaches us statecraft, after all. New tools.
As humans, we all crave validation, and formative assessments provide such insight on students’ understandings of concepts. Factors Contributing to Student Retention in Online Learning and Recommended Strategies for Improvement: A Systematic Literature Review.” Education Sciences 12, no. doi:10.28945/4182.

Notably, at the current pace of change, equality remains unacceptably far away; for example, although women’s representation in mathematics, engineering and computerscience is increasing, it is not projected to reach parity with men’s until 2052.
Principle 3: An education that is less discipline-specific but that embraces the broader concerns of the humanities and social sciences, that addresses big and enduring questions, and that teaches students how to think like an anthropologist, historian, literary critic, political scientist, psychologist and sociologist.

And we could talk about the kinds of roles that students in arts and humanities played, which often were leadership positions, either management or C-suite offices. Then if you think tech, we’ve got numbers of examples of how arts and humanities and social science majors are benefiting the technology industry that’s there.
Active learning strategies, where students actively engage in the learning process, promote participation and retention (Freeman et al. ” CBELife Sciences Education 8, no. “The Impact of Active Learning on Retention of Non-Majors in Biology” (2019). ” CBELife Sciences Education 16, no. Cooper, K.

The result, according to Feldstein: these institutions “make the same research demands on faculty and incur expenses for building out facilities that are not focused on creating well-educated citizens, successful professionals and thoughtful human beings. ” So what should these broad-access institutions do instead?
