The goals of the I DLA Program i and the reason for investing time and funds are to promote student-faculty interactions, enhance student learning and research, and increase student persistence in engineering. Moreover, some study-abroad opportunities are organized by third-party providers, who arrange for general-interest courses taken with other study-abroad students from a variety of majors, but not often for engineering core courses taken with local students. Most often, our students do study abroad in the fall of their junior year, when they need to take a course in I Thermodynamics i and another in I Heat and Mass Transfer i - these courses are fairly common at potential partner institutions, though not always in the semester needed by our students. In-state students have higher persistence rates than do out-of-state students, while international students have higher persistence rates than do domestic students. [Extracted from the article] |
