advisor deemed that they needed additionalmathematics training prior to taking the Calculus Sequence, but this class was not a requirementfor the two majors. The Fall classes were larger and majority of students in the Fall class are newFreshmen. The Winter class is smaller and consists of a mixture of students who are in Pre-engineering or were originally admitted with significantly weaker background in mathematics andhave been taking many prerequisite classes such as Algebra and Pre-calculus. The textbook usedfor the class is the same textbook that Wright State used [8] and the class has been taught by anengineering faculty member since the first offering. The Wright State class has both a lecture anda laboratory component. In the laboratory

exit the discipline [1]. Important factors in student attrition from STEM disciplinesinclude: 1) instructional experiences such as first-year Mathematics courses and facultyexpectations [1][2] and 2) individual self-efficacy, epistemologies, and goal orientations [2][3].In order to enhance student cognitive and affective outcomes and retain students in STEMdisciplines, undergraduates have been used as Learning Assistants (LAs), course UTAs, and labUTAs with positive results [4][5][6]. For example, UTAs used in an inquiry-based generalchemistry laboratory context have similar student content knowledge gains as GTAs in the sameposition [5]. As another example, in a large-enrollment introductory physics course, studentshave significantly higher

students fromfreshman through junior levels using a carefully redesigned curriculum of engineering sciencecore courses (ESCC) and a blended set of applied laboratories. ESCC consists of six core coursestaught by teams of ME faculty with clearly set educational objectives and managed by acoordinator and trained teaching assistants. Though essay type examination questions candemonstrate positive learning outcomes, multiple choice questions are better to pinpoint areas ofconceptual difficulties. After designing and adopting ESCC in 2006, faculty agreed that carefullydesigned multiple choice questions should form an integral part for all examinations in coreclasses. We frequently discuss performance data on conceptual questions and archive them

laboratory spaces used by the center.If successful, a student will be Calculus ready for the fall semester of their first-year. Theintervention is producing students who have higher pass rates in Calculus 1, and higher GPA.However, for the first cohort we did not find that these higher rates were statistically significant.Still, by accelerating Calculus readiness and providing a learning environment that promotesgeneral college readiness, we should have reduced time-to-graduation and hope to showimproved knowledge mastery in later courses, especially those that are Calculus or Mathematicsintensive.Enrolled StudentsThe first cohort entered the program in Summer 2014. We had 22 students, all had placementinto our College Algebra or Pre-Calculus course

resources are scarce, andmaterials for hands-on activities are not always available. Several hands-on activities wereimplemented in this program, and it is clear that some were more beneficial than others. Forexample, the activity to calculate the coefficient of restitution (COR) between various balls andvarious surfaces was hands-on and similar to a laboratory experiment. By contrast, theengineering design activity employed a discovery-based learning approach to keep studentsdeeply engaged and help them explore the steps of the engineering design process.Implementations of discovery-based design activities have been shown to be beneficial, as notedin the engineering education literature.25 It is possible that discovery-based learning played

Engineers for over 24 years including eleven years on the faculty at the United States Military Academy.Dr. Anand K. Gramopadhye, Clemson University Dr. Anand K. Gramopadhye’s research focuses on solving human-machine systems design problems and modeling human performance in technologically complex systems such as health care, aviation and manufacturing. He has more than 200 publications in these areas, and his research has been funded by NIH, NASA, NSF, FAA, DOE, and private companies. Currently, he and his students at the Advanced Technology Systems Laboratory are pursuing cutting-edge research on the role of visualization and virtual reality in aviation maintenance, hybrid inspection and job-aiding, technology to
