knowledge gain assessmentcomposed of 15 questions asking about the variables and units in 15 of the equations that studentslearn in the course (See Fig. 2). One of the questions asked about an equation that was not includedin the finalized syllabus; answers to this question were therefore not included in the analysispresented in this paper. In this survey, students were also asked four additional questions regardingwhat success meant for them; about their preparation for the course including which previouscourses they had taken in mathematics, physics, and chemistry; and about their expectations forthe instructor.A second portion of the pre-test/post-test offered to the intervention groups asked about studentattitudes toward learning the material

Iwondered how I was going to be able to use writing as one inclusive strategy. As it turned out,building community online has been an interesting challenge and one that the students seem tobe excited to help with.Prior to Covid, students would receive 3 points just for coming to class. There was norequirement that the students had to participate in class in order to receive those points. Myphilosophy is that every person in the class is valued and their presence simply serves to createand enhance our classroom community. On my course syllabus I had referred to these points asclass involvement points and made the argument that a student was involved in class simply bybeing present – regardless of whether they asked or answered a question, helped

smallclassroom size and the data compares between fall 2016 and fall 2017. Hence, scientifically weaware that these results should have some flaws and limitations, but, the data collected from thisstudy may be useful for instructors who teaches the same course or for educational researchers,working closely with freshmen students. 2. Teaching MethodologyThere are no prerequisites for the Engineering Physics I course outside of admittance into anengineering program. The co requisites courses include: MATH1750, Engineering Calculus I orMATH1775, Integrated Engineering Calculus I. The text book adopted for this course was“Young and Freedman, University Physics 14th Edition with online Mastering Physics,published by Pearson.EP 1 is a four-credit course

assignment, reading the Academic Integrity Policy for ouruniversity and the corresponding quiz, will be integrated with the week 1 lab quiz that iscurrently only over the lab syllabus. Finally, we will create rubrics to assess the performanceindicators for the “Reinforce” and “Master” learning levels.References[1] ABET, "Accreditation Criteria & Supporting Documents," 2019.
