really are uncomfortablewith math, or feel insecure regarding their math (or other) abilities. A more limited ILAPsdevelopment – for example, between champions in just two departments – could perhapsovercome many of these logistical problems and provide a better "sense of ownership" to theprojects.In this project, miscommunications and different interpretations of what was acceptable werecommon. One major issue was related to "how applied" an ILAP should be. ILAPs that weredesigned to include hands-on applications could not be implemented efficiently into the largercalculus classes, and availability of "unique" instrumentation and laboratory space was always anissue for the other STEM courses. The differences in personal teaching styles (for

It is being used to solve challengingtechnical problems such as autonomous driving in unstructured environments or enabling robotsto grasp arbitrary objects. Deep learning is a special type of machine learning that automates thegeneration of useful data features.

Non-ES sections have either the traditional recitation sessions orcomputer laboratories that use the software Mathematica. Graduate teaching assistants conductboth of these options. The results from the initial implementation of ES are presented in [5].To gauge the effectiveness of the ES approach, the ES group and the non-ES group werecompared relative to two measures: proportion of students who passed Calculus I, that isproportion
