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

the Wright State Model First-Year Engineering Mathematics Course in a Startup School of EngineeringIntroductionThe Wright State Model was first implemented in 20043 with the goal of increasing studentretention, motivation and success in engineering at Wright State University. “The WrightState Model approach begins with the development of a novel freshman-level engineeringmathematics course, "Introductory Mathematics for Engineering Applications." Taught byengineering faculty, the course includes lecture, laboratory and recitation components. Usingan application-oriented, hands-on approach, the course addresses only the salient math topicsactually used in core engineering courses. … The result has shifted the traditional emphasison math
