The factor analysis revealed five constructs of student engagement (coursework,
supportive environment, uses resources, advising, and outside of class) that were much
different that the five CCSSE benchmarks of student engagement. There was a
statistically significant difference in the uses resources construct based upon academic
program, but not for gender and race. The regression analyses revealed that academic
program, uses resources, and coursework were valid predictors of a higher GPA while
race and the outside of class construct were valid predictors of reenrollment in the fall
semester.
