one of the FIGs, called FORCES (FocusOn Retention in Cohorts of Engineering Students), compared to students in the other three FIGsand the College of Engineering as a whole. FORCES is funded by NSF’s S-STEM (Scholarshipsin Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) program and targets students inunderrepresented groups for recruitment with the broad goals of removing financial barriers andimproving student retention.Recognizing that success in mathematics is critical to engineering student success, key FORCESprogram elements were designed with a focus on calculus. FORCES scholars were required todemonstrate first fall semester calculus readiness by either earning an acceptable score on theuniversity’s Math Aptitude Test (MAT) or by

The problems were clearly defined by the professorand/or textbook. Eventually, engineering students were exposed to ‘pencil and paper” designexercises with predetermined “right” solutions; actual class-related construction work tended tobe limited to small test devices, built by the book.In the 1970’s an assistant professor in the Mechanical Engineering department at MIT, WoodieFlowers, recognized that an innovative approach to engineering education would enhance thestudents’ education and he developed a hands-on project centered mechanical engineering designclass.

This inclusion allowsstudents to meet peers they would not normally interact with. This cohort model enablesstudents to broaden their perspectives as they potentially encounter students with interestsdifferent from their own.The RISE first year seminar is now offered in the fall and spring semesters, as a year-longopportunity for a cohort of s 25-30 students.

instruction process, we incorporated this into the real-time quiz framework. Initially, each learner would take the quiz individually at their owncomputer workstation. The instructor would monitor the results on a separate screen, not visibleto the learners. Once the allotted quiz time had elapsed (which typically ranged from 5- to 10-minutes) the learners would break into their assigned teams. The teams were assigned by theinstructor at the beginning of the semester and were usually based on declared major. Teamsizes ranged from three to four learners, with four being the maximum. After forming into theteams, the learners were tasked with discussing the real-time quiz question(s) being asked andwere to arrive at a team answer. Each team would then
