MINING.COM Staff Writer | February 20, 2012 | 5:38 pm Education 

Josh Fischman of the Percolate blog reports from the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science on the movement to re-evaluate engineering curricula to keep undergraduates from dropping out before finishing their programs.

Alarmed by the tendency of engineering programs to hemorrhage undergraduates, at a time when the White House has called for an additional million degrees in science, technology, engineering and math fields — known as STEM — education researchers… proposed ways to improve the numbers. At a symposium on engineering education, one group outlined a broad revamping of curriculum, while another proposed more modest changes to pedagogy.
