Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Engineering schools worldwide have a relatively high attrition rate. Typically, about 35% of the first-year students in various engineering programs do not make it to the second year. Of the remaining students, quite often they drop out or fail in their second or third year of studies. The purpose of this investigation is to identify the factors that serve as good indicators of whether a student will drop out or fail the program. In order to establish early warning indicators, principal component analysis is used to analyze, in the first instance, first-year engineering student academic records. These performance predictors, if identified, can then be used effectively to formulate corrective action plans to improve the attrition rate.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
