, and student and faculty survey results.4–6The department is still working to develop a comprehensive assessment strategy that is wellintegrated with the department’s strategic plan. Part of that effort it determining what data isappropriate for evaluating the impact and effectiveness of effort to use technology to improveteaching and learning. Some initial data collection and analysis has been done, and those resultsare presented and discussed following the initial presentation of a specific educationaltechnology.The department teaches freshman, sophomore, and junior level engineering mathematics classes,but the largest amount of student credit hours is in the freshman sequence: Engineering AnalysisI, Engineering Analysis II, and Engineering

Direction This paper presents an analysis of the NCAA basketball tournament which is entirelymathematical in its methodology. However, the modeling process and its applications havestrong engineering implications. This section provides a few example topics for classroominstruction that could potentially follow this tournament analysis within a high school Page 24.930.9engineering course, along with future extensions planned for the current curriculum. Examples of well-established engineering applications involving the use of Bernoulli trialsand binomial and geometric distributions reside in the practice of quality control. In a large batchof
