more of a lack of interest. I began to research how I might better reach this group ofstudents that I identified as being from the millennial generation. Looking at the demographics ofthe students in my program, I determined that approximately 60% of the students were bornbetween 1982 and 2001, the range reported to define the millennial generation.1 While thedisengaged students did fall within this age range, the majority of this group did not exhibit thesecharacteristics. I concluded that there must be another contributing factor. The students in the2+2 program have completed an associate’s degree: Associate of Science (A.S.) or Associate ofApplied Science (A.A.S.). Most of the A.A.S. graduates were employed in their field of studyand were

prominent, the Brooklyn Bridge, was completed in 1883 (Figure 1). Itdemonstrated that an ambitious suspension bridge could be constructed. However, that bridgewas very expensive, costing $15.5 million (more than $350 million, adjusted for inflation)(Brooklyn Daily Eagle, 1896).Figure 1: Photograph of the Brooklyn Bridge. (Wikimedia Commons, 2017)The Golden Gate Bridge (Figure 2) was completed in 1936. It was, adjusted for inflation, slightlymore expensive than the Brooklyn Bridge, costing $621,262,000.

function x x2 x3is ex = 1 + 1! + 2! + 3! + ⋯ , −∞ < x < ∞What is important to know about forms is that while a curve can be described in many forms, theproperties of a curve belong to the curve and not any particular form. A form may display oneproperty and conceal other properties. In quantitative analysis this leads to the computationdrifting to a form that reveals the property being sought.In the study of differential calculus, we are concerned with the local behavior of a curve; that isthe behavior of the curve in a small interval surrounding a fixed point. There are three propertiesof major interest: 1) Position 2) Direction or rate of change

andsubmitted to the Bay College curriculum committee in the fall of 2014, which was then firstoffered to students during the Fall 2015 semester (Figure 1). Five students initially majored inthe program, but several classes benefited from strong enrollment due to their inclusion in otherdegree programs on campus. This practice of including courses from the new major in otherwell-established degree programs on campus proved to be a valuable lesson learned that isrecommended for other colleges looking to replicate this model. For example, CircuitFundamentals I had a total of 17 students enrolled during its initial offering due to its inclusionas an option within the water resource management program. This benefit of including courses

. Some students also usethe project for entry in the University-wide annual research symposium and/or Six Sigma GreenBelt or Black Belt certification.The project is used for assessment of several program learning outcomes. In fact, thispaper/presentation will cover continuous improvement opportunities that were identified throughthe assessment of the project work. Some of the problems that were identified and addressedinclude inadequate and untimely project selection by companies, students wasting time gettingstarted, weak team leadership, and ambiguous root causes.1. Introduction and Overview“The ET department's emphasis on solving real world problems has prepared me to avoid thepitfalls that many of my peers encounter and start achieving

complete to be usable. The questions weused were informed by those used in the referenced report2, with modifications as needed for thisstudy. The returns were from Electrical/Electronics ET (7), Manufacturing ET (5), MechanicalET (4), Civil ET (6), Electronics and Industrial ET (2), Electrical and Computer ET (1), andNuclear and Electronics ET (1). All the programs that participated in the study had an IAB. The full wording of all the questions is found in the Appendix.Results The first question had to do with how often the program meets with their IAB. Table 1summarizes the results. As with the authors’ own experience, one or two meetings per yearseems to be the most common use of IABs

labs must be current and include equipment thatthe students may experience in industry. At the start of the year, the Department is given a$50,000 university budget for equipment and materials for the year; of which approximately$30,000 is spent solely on laboratory materials. Thus, of the Departmental budget, $20,000 canbe used for equipment – in all labs. Figure 1 shows the breakdown of support to the universitybetween student tuition and state appropriations. As the amount of support from the statedecreases, the student tuition increases, and thus, each year, students pay higher tuition. Figure 1 – Student tuition and State appropriationsFrom Figure 2, one can see that the average student debit incurred from a four

has approximately 70 students enrolledand the plan would be to increase that to approximately 150 by Fall 2018. Leveraging thecoursework, laboratories, faculty and staff in the ESET and MMET programs has allowed the ETIDDepartment to accelerate the startup and implementation of this new area of engineering technologyeducation. This rapid response to industries’ needs has created a new level of partnership andinteraction for all three programs.MXET Curriculum As shown in Figure 1, the Multidisciplinary Engineering Technology program is composedof 127 SCHs which encompasses a University Core, a Math and Science Core, a MXET TechnicalCore (including Freshman Engineering, two Directed Technical Electives, and a two-semesterCapstone Design

lower engagement with the discipline andless interaction with faculty and student organizations.There is little investigation of students who leave engineering and pursue degrees in ET. Theleaky pipeline to STEM professions is well known by researchers. However, the reasons studentsleave are less universal. Research on faculty perceptions of student persistence in STEM studiesshow study habits, commitment to educational goals, and family support as primary influencingfactors [1], but other researchers report that the main reasons students depart from engineeringand STEM fields are non-academic [2, 3, 4]. Furthermore, George-Jackson [4] reports that not allstudents who leave engineering leave STEM, and calls upon researchers to learn more

Lightboard videos within the course’s online content followed a schedulethat intentionally alternated between two consecutive semesters (see Table 1). WhereasLightboard videos were provided to students for lectures 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 during theSpring 2017 semester, students in the following Fall 2017 semester were provided Lightboardvideos for lectures 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13.Alternating the videos in this manner provided the course instructor with a direct comparison ofstudent performance, on identical in-class assignments, with and without having viewed theLightboard videos. The results from this comparison is provided in Tables 3 and 4 of the Resultssection along with additional analysis.Questionnaire-Based Data CollectionStudents from
