摘要

本初步研究探讨了工科学生在第一节工科课上的表现与他们的SAT分数、对科学的兴趣和性别之间的关系。本研究的数据来源于2013年秋季的导论电路理论课。学生的SAT分数(综合、数学和语言作为单独的项目)被获取,他们对科学的兴趣是通过他们对高中科学选修课的选择来衡量的,而不是毕业所要求的——生活环境和地球科学都是高中课程,通常符合纽约大学校务委员会的要求。特别有趣的是,学生们在高中时是否学过物理和/或化学。本研究发现的两个主要因素表明,学生的SAT分数,特别是SAT数学,以及他们在选修的额外科学课程,即物理和化学中的表现,解释了工程和技术学生在入门课程中大约80%的成绩差异。本研究对工程教育界的更广泛影响是帮助他们更好地了解高中准备或背景中可能影响他们作为新生在工程技术课程中的表现的因素。本研究的结果可用于协助高校的招生管理、招生和课程安排。这些结果也可以被高中辅导员用来建议有兴趣从事工程和技术职业的学生。这项研究将有助于提高工程技术专业学生的保留率。

How student gender, SAT score, and interest in science relates to performance in introductory engineering technology coursework
This pilot study explores the relationship between engineering technology students' performance in their first engineering class and their SAT score, interest in science, and gender. This study is based upon data collected from an introductory electric circuits theory class in fall of 2013. The students' SAT scores (both composite and math and verbal as separate items) were obtained and their interest in science was measured by their selection of high school science electives beyond what was required for graduation - both Living Environment and Earth Science are high school courses that typically fulfill the NYS Regents requirements. It is particularly interesting to note whether the students took Physics and/ or Chemistry in high school. The two dominant factors discovered in this study indicate that students' SAT scores, particularly SAT Math, along with their performance in optional extra science classes, namely, Physics and Chemistry, explained approximately 80% of the variance of the engineering and technology students' grades in their introductory course. The broader impact of this study for the engineering education community is to help gain a better understanding of factors in high school preparation or background that may affect their performance as freshmen in the engineering technology curriculum. The results of this study may be used to assist enrollment management, recruitment, and course scheduling at the college level. These results may also be used by high school counselors to advise students interested in pursuing engineering and technology careers. This study will inform efforts to improve retention in engineering technology majors.
