Solar Car Figure 6: Pulling a Load with a Solar CarEach team prepares a summary sheet showing a sketch of their design, a bill of materials (theparts they used with the cost of each), the total cost of their design, and how much weight theircar was able to pull. After the competition, the entire class reflects on the results and discusseswhat worked and what did not.After completing this ETK, the students have learned about solar cells, motors, and tirematerials, but they have also learned about the engineering design process, and how to constructa vehicle to perform a task. They also learned how to measure the values of variables, theimportance of consistent procedures for making measurements, how to compute

research ([4]). Cooley, Trigueros and Baker reported results in 2007 ([5]) usingthematization of schema with the intent to expose those possible structures acquired at the most sophisticatedstages of schema development. Responses of research participants to a calculus graphing problem was analyzedin [2] by using APOS theory. The components of the APOS theory can be briefly explained as follows ([6]):  An action is a transformation of objects perceived by the as essentially external and as requiring, either individual explicitly or from memory, step-by-step instructions on how to perform the operation...  The individual reflects upon an action when the action is repeated and he or she can make an internal mental construction

ideasmight contribute to improved motivation, one must still acknowledge that there are other largerreasons for the continuing decline of STEM education in the USA.Having taught university-level undergraduate and graduate courses in a wide variety of STEMtopics for over 30 years, this author has observed an equally disturbing decline in the relativeperformance of U.S. students in relation to students from other countries. This observation isoften reflected in the consistent and continued „dumbing down‟ of course concepts,acknowledged by many academics who have taught in STEM disciplines for any length of time.In view of this continued decline of competency among U.S. university graduates, it is notsurprising that more and more companies are looking

malintent, thatassociate people of color with negative concepts, even though most people self-report havingminimal to no bias (Greenwald et al., 1998). These unintentional beliefs, often referred to asracial microaggressions, communicate hostility toward people of color. Pierce (1974)conceptualized microaggressions as subtle, cumulative mini-assaults. Sue and colleagues (2007)define microaggressions as "brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, or environmentalindignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, ornegative racial slights and insults toward persons of color" (p. 271). The current literatureexpands the definition of microaggressions to include "acts that reflect superiority, hostility

The small scale intervention, A Bridge to Calculus, is intended toimprove students’ placement from College Algebra into Calculus 1. The target population forthis effort are students with high school experience in a Calculus course but whose performanceon placement exams does not reflect this experience. At our institution this is a significantnumber of students and the goal of the project is to develop methods to address and acceleratestudents in this category. The course design, to take advantage of the students’ prior experience,emphasizes practice and mastery using a modified emporium course design and the ALEKSsoftware1.

The authors corrected these violations by reflecting and square roottransforming the CA scores. The data was tested for normality after reflecting and transformingthe data, and the normality was met to run a regression analysis with the transformed data.CALC-IIICA scores in CALC-III violated the regression assumptions of normality and homoscedasticity.The CA scores were negatively skewed. To correct these violations, the CA scores were reflectedand square root transformed. Normality was met after transforming the data.CALC-II-2TFor this model, the original data for UL scores violated the regression assumption

Schuster1). Precollege characteristics - like high school grade pointaverages - as well as university entrance exams have, in general, turned out to be usefulpredictors of student retention.A prior investigation of the drop-out probability at the engineering department of ouruniversity (Andreeva-Moschen2) clearly showed that the university entry scores can be usedto identify groups of students at higher risk of failure. It also turned out that the probabilitydistribution for student drop-out depends on the type of high school the students graduatedfrom, namely secondary colleges of engineering or traditional high schools. Interestingly, theuniversity entry score distribution does not reflect any differences in this respect, which might

However, because enrollment in differential equations is anearly universal requirement for those in engineering paths, and because the sample capturedstudents enrolled in differential equations at a cross-section of time-points in their degreetrajectories, the results are felt to be a fair reflection of the level of software exposure for 8multiple degree paths as they enter differential equations specifically, and upper-division mathcourses more generally.It is not possible to characterize the prior and current software exposure of students who did

1 Percentage of students repeating lower-division Math and Physics CoursesFor students who pass their lower-division courses and continue pursuing a STEM field, thisdoes not often translate into success in math-intensive engineering courses. Figure 2 shows thepercent repetition rate for various lower and upper-division ECS courses. Many courses acrossECS consist of repetition rates above 20%. This alludes to students not retaining the materiallearned in their previous pre-requisite courses, and consequently, students continue to repeatcourses and extend their graduation date as reflected in the graduation trends in 4, 5, 6-yeargraduation rates, shown in Figure 3. Although the 4-year graduation rate has consistently stayedat 5% since 2009

Ted Kennedy, a founder of BE&K, amajor engineering, construction corporation, emphasized the importance of these same problemsolving skills during his keynote address to the Engineering Council of Birmingham in 2007. Hestressed the importance of learning mathematics in an engineering context rather than inisolation, stating that applying mathematics to solve complex engineering problems is anessential, and often missing, skill for young engineers. These same expectations are reflected inthe engineering accreditation process which seeks to place engineering problem-solving anddesign earlier in curricula. Consequently, students must apply their mathematics and basicscience skills sooner within the

"The impact of a one-hour application session is the same as of a regular (two- hour) tutorial". "Sorry that applied problems were not given in the first Calculus course".The follow-up study using statistical and qualitative methods indicated that the groups whichstudied calculus with applications had significant advantage in the half-course and final examgrades.

The underlying logic of using an FLC to promote faculty change is that“undergraduate instruction will be changed by groups of instructors who support and sustaineach other’s interest, learning, and reflection on their teaching.”6 Indeed, studies have shown thatfaculty participation in FLCs increases interest in the teaching process, enhances understandingand influence of the scholarship of teaching and learning, increases reflective practice
