Is this DFW rate improvement most closely related to the gradual improvement in the Freeform environment or instructor characteristics as (s)he implements the course environment?The authors hypothesize that the likelihood of DFW would drop in each year following theinception of Freeform as the new environment is institutionalized as the standard for ME 274and as instructors add and enhance the ABC components of Freeform (RQ2). Moreover, as anygiven instructor becomes comfortable with the environment and more confident and strategicabout their implementation of the course, the likelihood of student success would also increase.However, over the same time period for Dynamics at

, Retaining and Graduating More Women in Computer Science and Math Abstract We report on the CS/M Scholars Program which is supported by an NSF S-STEM grant that began in 2011. The program aims to increase the number of women graduating with degrees in Computer Science or Mathematics. It is well known that women are under- represented in these fields nationally and this is also the case at our university. Our efforts include targeted recruitment of female high school students with a record of academic achievement and leadership potential. In addition to providing scholarships, student success is bolstered by required first-year seminars, early advising, and monthly events focused on professional

Thisgives two different received powers: P1dBm at receiver 1 (connected to antenna 1), and P2dBm at Figure 6: Antenna pair with incident radar signalreceiver/antenna 2. Look carefully at Figure 6. Note that the difference between the tworeceived powers varies linearly with the angle off of boresight, from a maximum of AdB_BS at 0°(antenna 1’s boresight) to a minimum of 0 dB at 45°. (Beyond that the arrival angle is closer toantenna 2, so all of the following calculations would be reversed and worked with respect toantenna 2 instead of Antenna 1.) It is this

It is the author’s (and Instructor 1’s) opinion that thisincrease in organization of the course is one of the main benefits of the flipped classroom.Finally, we found that, given the same instructor, the averages are higher for the Involvement subscale(2.85 vs. 2.44).
