educational research and information systems (eris)
[1993 Version]
Educational Research and Information Systems (ERIS) is a division within Freshman
Engineering at Purdue. The primary goals of the group
are to conduct educational research studies and provide information that will
facilitate the development and enhancement in the quality of engineering
education at Purdue in particular and higher education in general. Major
focus of ERIS activities is at the undergraduate level, but the scope is
broad and includes pre-college and post-college activities as well.
ERIS provides information and services to the Minorities, Women,
Counselor-Tutorial and Honors programs in Freshman Engineering, as well
as the Academic Counseling, Day-Campus, and instructional programs of
Freshman Engineering. ERIS also provides support for the multiple
surveys conducted to evaluate Purdue programs. This comprehensive
program includes a very large scale student database which includes
extensive pre-college, college and post-college information. Institutional
and national studies of engineering education have been conducted by this
group including the National Engineering Utilization Study (1984-86)
and National Engineering Career Development Study (1981-84).
