4 Introduction This report sets out the findings of a survey of 389 first year engineering students who commenced studying in the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) in September. The questionnaire was completed online using WebCT. The background information on students is taken from DIT records. This data is based on the records of 525 students who were attending DIT courses in October. This set of records is different to that used in previous years in that in those years the data was based on those who accepted places in DIT. These students did not always attend. In of those who were offered places 83 did not ever attend. Some of these deferred their place before November 1. Another 7 deferred their places after that date while 2 never registered. Thus of the 617 places offered 13 never came. We are proposing that in future studies the data analysis should be based only on those who attend. This report is the fourth in a series (there was no report in ) and attempts to pull all the data together for the five years for which it was collected. Direct comparison is not always possible as the questionnaire changed over the years. Also a full set of data is not available for. Further, as stated above, the data set from student records is different this year. Notwithstanding these points clear trends are evident. A separate document will analyse the schools from which our students came over the three years,5 and 7. 3
