Bjorn,Bangstein,Associate Professor of the Practice,"Dr. Bangstein's dissertation research is related to the retention rate of Texas A&M University engineering academies students. The study aims to understand why the first-year retention rate is consistently lower for engineering academies students than for on-campus students. Retention is a complex phenomenon, and research shows that cognitive and affective factors impact students' decisions to stay or leave college. For this study, a correlational design is used. The study argues that affective factors such as students' belongingness to the classroom, community, or institution are associated with persistence and affect retention.",Associate Professor of the Practice||Faculty Affiliate,College of Engineering||Institute for Engineering Education and Innovation,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n9c10f872
Malini,Natarajarathinam,Associate Professor,"Dr. Malini Natarajarathinam joined the Industrial Distribution Program in 2007 as an Assistant Professor and is now an Associate Professor (with tenure) since 2013. Natarajarathinam received her Ph.D. in Supply Chain Management from The University in 2007. She received her Bachelor of Engineering (Major: Industrial and Systems Engineering) from Anna University [Tamilnadu, India], her MS in Industrial Engineering from Auburn University, her MA in Management Science, and MS in Applied Statistics from The University of Alabama. Before coming to Academia, she worked with several automotive companies on transportation, material handling, and decision analysis systems.
She teaches courses in strategic relationships among industrial distributors and distribution logistics. Her recent research focuses on education and learning sciences with an emphasis on Engineering and STEM fields. Her other research interests include empirical studies to assess the impact of good supply chain practices such as coordinated decision making in stochastic supply chains, handling supply chains during times of crisis, and optimizing global supply chains on the financial health of a company. She has published her research in the Journal of Business Logistics, International Journal of Physical Distribution and Logistics Management, and peer-reviewed proceedings of the American Society for Engineering Education.",Faculty Affiliate||Associate Professor,Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution||Institute for Engineering Education and Innovation,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/na25c3f2f
