details about integrating TAO into the first-yearengineering curriculum.Providing Support to First-Year Engineering StudentsThe Faculty of Engineering has elected to approach the provision of student supports in twoways: integrated within their courses and outside the classroom. In order to expose students toTAO, an assignment within the second-semester Technical Communications course asksstudents to complete four of five modules within the Communication and InterpersonalRelationships pathway. The five modules are Managing Anger, Communication Strategies,Communication Styles, Problem Solving, and Relationships (this module is available to students,but they are not required to complete it). “This pathway [helps students] understand how toimprove

The development of a response tothese consensus items very clearly could not be simply added to our existing curriculum for first-year engineering, noting that a typical student complaint about the coursework topics seemed toodisjointed and too packed. In Fall 2015, after discussions with the Dean of Engineering, theDean's support for an initial effort to extend FYEP to better meet these goals was in conceptagreed to.The Architecture of the Enhanced FYEPOur major operational path to reaching ourgoals for the revised FYEP was (a)streamlining and integrating our first-yearengineering topics, (b

college added supplemental tutoringoptions and updated its math placement test to aid students who were affected by the switch. Figure 3: TMCC College Algebra Pass Rates Compared to College Algebra I and II.Cankdeska Cikana Community College:More fully described in our previous paper [3], CCCC has implemented Carnegie MathPathways as an alternative developmental course sequence that shortens the traditional algebrasequence. Carnegie has developed this evidence-based curriculum [6] in two strands, Statwayand Quantway, both of which seek to make mathematics more relevant to students’ educationgoals, career goals, and personal lives. Figure 4 below shows the three semesters of QuantwayCore meant to replace the year sequence of Introduction to

. Consideration is given to the tolerances associated with the 3D printers, and studentsdesign interfaces with appropriate clearances in mind. Examples and demonstrations of 3Dprinted threaded fasteners, mating gears, and other interfacing components are used to help studentunderstanding of relevant clearances.Once satisfied with the individual components and the virtual integration, models are translatedinto a format suitable for the CAM tool. Students use the CAM tool to obtain an estimate ofmanufacturing time and material which are then used in calculating a cost estimate. After eachteam successfully completes a “milestone 1” design review, components are printed andassembled. Throughout the design process UGTAs serve as project managers, each
