on improving student services and technology/infrastructure ratherthan addressing classroom pedagogies, particularly techniques to teaching large classrooms. Thefollowing factors will be investigated in the study as a whole: socioeconomic background, healthissue, work load versus course load, enthusiasm in engineering, learning environment andconfidence in pre-engineering courses, and interaction with instructor. However, this paperfocuses on whether taking prerequisite courses at community college is academically morebeneficial for the students than taking them within the university. The main difference beingclass size.RESEARCH QUESTIONSThe research questions explored in this preliminary analysis of our study are:1. What factors
