110) instead of the Calculus, at least one semester delay in thegraduation can occur. Additionally, if a student fails one or more of these pre-requisite chains,the student’s graduation will be delayed by at least one more semester. Another factor thataggravates this situation is that most of the higher division courses are only offered once a yearat CSU Chico and are not offered during the summer or at other universities across the nation.Therefore, the importance of passing the math courses at the scheduled semester is evident of thestudy plan to reduce the time-to-graduation.About 19.1% of the incoming freshman and transfer students in the College of Engineering andComputer Science did not enroll in Calculus as their first math course in

This paper presents such effort involving a junior level engineering statisticscourse. Given the abundance of data in today’s world and the importance of extracting meaningout of them, statistics is an important tool for any discipline including and especiallyengineering.

ePortfoliosAbstractContemporary educational challenges have become amplified through the adoption of online-only modes of instruction due to the Covid-19 pandemic. When planning and delivering onlineinstruction, even more than when delivering face-to-face instruction, engineering educators needto involve students at cognitive and emotional levels that encourage authentic, meaningful, andimmersive learning experiences. During traditional online learning, students often feeldisconnected from their learning communities. They also report a lack of motivation. Emotionalengagement is therefore a necessary complement to cognitive engagement, while further helpingto facilitate intrinsic motivation and feelings of delight, surprise, understanding, empathy, andtrust.
