. The S-STEM program offers four separate tracks: Bachelor’s degree with a Master of Science,Bachelor’s degree with a Master of Business Administration and Graduate Certificate inEntrepreneurship, Bachelor’s degree with a Minor in Entrepreneurship, and a Bachelor’s degreewith Advanced Graduate School Preparation. Thus, each track students complete all standard BSdegree requirements, and a research- and team-based senior capstone experience that meetsABET standards for integration of technical knowledge: safety, environmental, and healthcompliance; economics and business considerations; teamwork; and project management. Thebiomedical, chemical and environmental programs offer both a research-based and the regulardesign-based senior capstone

The role of the instructor is altered from thetraditional reader to a coach who helps the students master the winning strategies throughrepeated practice and interactions with classmates, in several steps [9, 10, 11, 12]:Step OneThe instructor provides new material to the students. This can be done in the following ways: (a) Brief explanation in lecture (b) Assigned readings (c) Online SA (which were due before this lecture) (d) Doing homework (which is due soon).Step TwoBut have the students learned anything?

was close-readand terms deemed to refer to a remote laboratory characteristic were noted and recorded. Thecharacteristic sets from each individual paper were assembled into a single master list. Themaster list was then scanned for duplicates and fungibles, and reduced in size accordingly.The master list was then considered, line-item by line-item. The first line-item was held outfor display and he question asked: ‘of what type is this’; if there was no appropriate ‘type’ anew type was created. If the ‘type’ did exist, the line-item was placed therein. At the end ofthe exercise, each line-item was associated with a parent-class (‘type’, ‘bucket’, ‘category’).The whole exercise was then performed again and explored for congruence. Some

their engineering courses in particular and in their chosenengineering field in general.2. The problemThe mathematical education of the engineering undergraduates essentially consists of thestudents assimilating a large collection of 'methods' and 'techniques' that later on in theireducation and profession should enable them to understand and solve advanced engineeringproblems. Evidence resulting from the continuous assessment process performed by themathematics department at our university shows that by the end of a given semester, themajority of engineering students have mastered core concepts outlined by the math courseoutcomes. However, as seen in the literature reviewed and articulated by many engineeringfaculty at our university

So far, the methods applied to EET courses taughtby the author can be considered successful due to the positive and encouraging feedbackprovided by the students. Assessment results have indicated that the instructional approachesused have been successful in meeting the learning goals, which once again serve as evidence forthe effectiveness of active learning as research studies have indicated. The use of these methodshas also helped faculty to manage their teaching and scholarly expectations by providing tools toimprove student learning and more efficiently manage course development and time once thesemethodologies are mastered and implemented.
