CSIE: FAST FACTS Is targeting students who are in their first two years of STEM curriculum ü Since fall 2006, 313 students have participated in the CSIE Program at Eastern Michigan University— including 63 students in the 2009 -2010 academic year. ü Students Characteristics • Gender— 53% Female, 47% Male, and less than 0. 3% not reported • Race/Ethnicity— 67% white, 12% Black, 5% Asian, 4% Hispanic, less than 0. 3% Native American, and the remaining 11% not reported. • SES Status— 27% First Generation, 46% Pell Eligible, and 3% Veteran Since 2006, the CSIE Program has retained or graduated 58% of CSIE students in STEM programs at EMU. ü This represents approximately 10% of STEM degrees conferred in the past three years (July 2007 -April 2010)

EVALUATION METHODOLOGY Pre- and Post-Survey • Administered to both CSIE and Non-CSIE students (control group) in Fall and Winter semesters • The survey is build around the CSIE experience constructs Focus group with faculty and students (2008) Number of respondents (2009 -2010 evaluation): CSIE participants (n = 30) who completed and consented to both the Pre- and Post-Surveys Traditional participants (n = 81) who responded and consented to both the surveys. To address Type II error: a proportional weight was applied throughout this analysis the sample sizes become equal for both the CSIE group and the Traditional group (n = 55. 5).

DATA ANALYSIS 1. Analysis of Change within Group: A series of paired sample t-tests were conducted to determine if the concepts had a statistically significant change within the CSIE and Traditional groups between the Pre- and Post-Surveys Hypothesis: There is a change in the mean scores on the constructs and questions from Pre to Post-Surveys for the CSIE and Traditional groups 2. Analysis by Group: A series of independent sample t-tests were conducted to determine if the reported value of the concepts had a statistically significant difference between the CSIE and Traditional groups on the Pre- and Post. Surveys Hypothesis: There is a difference in the mean scores on the constructs between the CSIE and the Traditional groups in the Pre- and Post. Surveys. 3. Analysis of Open Ended Questions

Traditional students reported a lower opinion of their experiences at EMU. Habits of Mind: The CSIE and Traditional students reported a higher opinion of their habits of approaching, organizing, analyzing, processing, and solving science and mathematics problems as a result of conditions created by CSIE experiences. Community Interaction: The CSIE students reported an improved opinion of their interaction with the community. Traditional students reported a lower opinion of their interaction with the community.
