data literacy is becoming an increasingly important concern in higher education[1, 2]. For engineers, statistics is probably more aligned with the concept of information literacythan any other course that will be studied. While it may be going too far to say that the entiretyof an introductory statistics course is a vital component to every undergraduate engineeringprogram, it is probably safe to say that certain statistics topics are essential. For engineers,working with data and experimentation are just a fact of life. This fundamental realization,coupled with an opportunity stemming from recent changes to the university’s general educationprogram, has motivated us to begin a process to redesign an introductory statistics course thatresides

Graduation: Helping First-Year Low Income, Rural STEM Students SucceedIntroductionWhile the STEM-based economy has been an enormous economic boon for some parts of theUnited States, other states, especially those more rural and economically beleaguered states, arefalling further behind economically due in part to their inability to meet engineering labordemands. Ranking 49th in college attendance and 45th in per capita Bachelor of Scienceengineering and science degrees [1], Arkansas is an example of one such state struggling to meetits STEM labor needs. However, the state could close this labor gap in part by recruiting previouslyoverlooked students – low-income and rural students. The University of Arkansas’ Path toGraduation (PTG

The Buck Institute of Education, whose work focuses mostly on K-12 education,has articulated a set of essential elements of “Gold Standard PBL” [3] that are readily applicable to thehigher education context: 1. Key Knowledge, Understanding, and Skills: Make clear the learning goals for PBL assignments. Often these are a combination of disciplinary knowledge and transferrable skills and abilities. 2.

However, Jeannette Wing stated the importanceof CT for everyone a decade earlier in her landmark essay [2]. Since then, several people andorganizations have posted their own definition of CT, which presents a challenge in being able toassess CT understanding and awareness in people. In an effort to build consensus on how to bestassess CT, the authors have developed a web-based tool that will enable CT experts globally

as RX on the Arduino and as TXon the ESP8266. Since the ESP8266 is a 3.3 V device, the signal coming from TX on theESP8266 to RX on the Arduino will never be above this voltage, so this signal is safe to connectto the Arduino powered at 5 V. However, since the Arduino is powered at 5 V, the signalcoming from TX on the Arduino to RX on the ESP8266 will be at this voltage, and this signal istoo high for the ESP8266 powered at 3.3 V. So, a voltage divider must be employed to lower thevoltage of this signal to a value that is safe for the ESP8266 to process. Connecting the TX signalfrom the Arduino to a circuit consisting of a 1 kW resistor in series with a 2 kW resistor willdivide this 5 V signal. The value of the voltage across the 1 kW
