“…Another important goal of this project is educating the broader research community, expanding the network of researchers capable of conducting this research, and sharing of innovative research methods in addition to the actual data. Thus, during this past year, we held workshops at the First-Year Engineering Education (FYEE) conference [6] and the Frontiers in Education (FIE) conference [7] and held the inaugural MIDFIELD Institute in June 2019.…”

Susan M. Lord received a B.S. from Cornell University in Materials Science and Electrical Engineering (EE) and the M.S. and Ph.D. in EE from Stanford University. She is currently Professor and Chair of Integrated Engineering at the University of San Diego. Her research focuses on the study and promotion of diversity in engineering including student pathways and inclusive teaching. She is Co-Director of the National Effective Teaching Institute (NETI). Her research has been sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Dr. Lord is among the first to study Latinos in engineering and coauthored The Borderlands of Education: Latinas in Engineering. Dr. Lord is a Fellow of the IEEE and ASEE and is active in the engineering education community including serving as General Co-Chair of the Frontiers in Education Conference, President of the IEEE Education Society, and Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Education (ToE) and the Journal of Engineering Education (JEE). She and her coauthors received the 2011 Wickenden Award for the best paper in JEE and the 2011 and 2015 Best Paper Awards for the IEEE ToE. In Spring 2012, Dr. Lord spent a sabbatical at Southeast University in Nanjing, China teaching and doing research. She is on the USD team implementing "Developing Changemaking Engineers", an NSF-sponsored Revolutionizing Engineering Education (RED) project. Dr. Lord is the 2018 recipient of the IEEE Undergraduate Teaching Award.

“…With over one million student records, MIDFIELD has been a wealth of information for researchers interested in studying these engineering curricular pathways [4]. It is composed of four tables that are linked together using a unique identifier for each student: (1) course information, including credit hours and grades; (2) term information that describes the program and students' academic standing; (3) student demographic information; and (4) degree information for graduates such as the program and term completed [5]. Perhaps the most underexplored dataset within MIDFIELD is the course table.…”

“…We chose the R software environment because it is free, open source, available on every major platform, and provides superior tools for contemporary data graphics [8]. midfielddata is freely available to the public as an R data package on GitHub [9]. Tools for accessing and analyzing these data are provided by the midfieldr package, also available via GitHub [10].…”
