know anecdotally at our institution that studentpopulations pursuing ASMT programs are distinctly different from those pursuing engineeringprograms in terms of performance on college entrance assessments (ACT, SAT etc.). Themajority of faculty who teach ASMT programs have engineering degrees, which could limit theirability to anticipate ASMT student challenges. Faculty can be more effective in their teaching,advising and mentoring if they understand clearly the specific challenges of their students. Therehave been no prior published work related to success of students pursuing ASMT programs,although there has been some work in related topics for agricultural/biological engineeringstudents: a study assessing motivation to pursue their majors [1

meet those needs.Thermodynamics Course Learning Outcomes. Overall learning outcomes for the course arethat upon successful completion of this course, each student would be able to: 1. Describe the role of energy in a global context 2. Locate and use data on thermodynamic properties of common gases and liquids 3. Perform thermodynamic analyses that follow a standardized format and include appropriate sketches, assumptions, and citations 4. Apply energy and entropy balances to problems involving heat and work 5. Apply 1st Law of Thermodynamics (Conservation of energy) to closed systems and open systems / control volumes 6. Apply 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (Restrictions on energy transfer) to closed systems and open

(grades) indicate there was no significant correlation between satisfaction andgrades and in fact the overall satisfaction for the courses decreased, but the grade distributionskewed more positive in the treated courses.Introduction According to the American Society for Engineering Education, the cumulative medianpassing rate of engineering degrees was only 47% [1]. In 2018, thousands of students studiedengineering courses comprised of technical abstract concepts requiring tangible applications [2].Chen [3] found many students encountered a course which was poorly designed resulting infeelings of frustration, distress, and disinterest. Due to the poorly designed course, students wereforced to focus on technology and navigation skills
