Paper ID #41346Comparison of Engineering and Computer Science Student Performance andOpinions of Instruction of a Microcomputers Course Across Delivery FormatsDr. Todd Jeffrey Freeborn, The University of Alabama Todd Freeborn, PhD, is an associate professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Alabama. Through NSF funding, he has coordinated REU Sites for engineering students to explore renewable resources and speech pathology. He is also the coordinator for an NSF S-STEM program to prepare students for gateway courses across different disciplines of engineering to support and
have been aligned through the EMPOWER program to meet the transfer engineeringstudents’ needs as they transition “in, through, and out” of their respective institutions and intomeaningful careers. This effort is ongoing and aims to produce data that can help the educationalcommunity better understand these transitions, especially as they pertain to Pell-grant-eligible,transfer engineering students.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to acknowledge the support from the National Science FoundationScholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) program.Additionally, we have a strong team leading a wide range of efforts through EMPOWER.

) appear to have increased in their share of thetotal agency investments in STEM education over that same time frame. Also revealed from thisvisualization is how highly-invested agencies tend to have a handful of highly invested programsand then multiple smaller efforts. Because most STEM investments are funded via multipleappropriations from Congress, this graphic demonstrates that the approximately one billion dollarincrease in Federal STEM education funding is being utilized by multiple entities and notnecessarily just the few whose missions more closely overlap with achieving effective STEMeducation.Top funded programs listed in the inventory can be seen in Table 5. Of these ten investments,which encompass nearly 39% of fiscal year 2021’s STEM
