We may postulate that the studentswith GPA lower than 3.0 were not motivated to attempt the problem, or attempted the problembut were unsuccessful or dissatisfied with their solution, and thus did not turn in an answer. Theydid not even attempt to guess the first portion of the question by providing a simple yes or no,where they had a 50/50 probability of getting it correct. Students with GPA greater than 3.5mostly got the question correct, showing that they either knew or were willing to seek help tofigure out the additional steps needed to achieve a solution, and were willing to then do thesubsequent work.Factors

For the second experiment, a post-attitudinal survey was givento all of the students of the classes that used the 3D printer. This same procedure was followed forthe second year of the study. Training was an integral part of the student project as was attending different technologyworkshops provided by the Learning Environments (LE) area within the Academic Technologies(AT) department at UTEP.

This greatly enhanced communication between freshmenand their course faculty. To enhance opportunities for the creation of academic and socialintegration, an approach that is of increasing popularity in colleges is the use of learningcommunities. Small groups of students take several classes together to enhance academic andsocial integration of students, and strengthen their cognitive skills.6Lower rated categories included the content of the Math Review sessions which was biased moreto the Pre-Calculus students, although many were beginning Calculus 1 or 2.

University of Illinois at Urbana ChampaignIntroductionThe potential for interdisciplinary approaches to education in efforts to inspire learners has beenshown to be fruitful in K12 and college level curricula1-7. A movement combining Art & Designwith STEM has promoted the benefits of STEAM8. In addition to the improved performance ofstudents who are engaged in this type of curriculum, there are opportunities to develop projectsthat embody the interdisciplinarity of these practices9. Workshops held in 2014 and 2015successfully promoted engagement and collaboration, and inspired learners who attended tobuild their own touch synthesizer. By emphasizing the aesthetics and musicality of the end result,the promotion of the event aimed to broaden K12
