Paper ID #23669Implementing the Wright State Model First-Year Engineering MathematicsCourse in a Startup School of EngineeringDr. Lynn A Albers, Campbell University Dr. Lynn Albers is an Assistant Professor in the newly formed School of Engineering at Campbell Uni- versity. A proponent of Hands-On Activities in the classroom and during out-of-school time programs, she believes that they complement any teaching style thereby reaching all learning styles. She earned her doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from North Carolina State University specializing in thermal sci- ences where her dissertation research spanned three

fullinteraction and full material use in mind, the combination of some online interaction with peers,visualization tools, and quizzes along with constant online access to course material and progressgenerally worked well for specific courses under study [7].Thus, although VLEs are relatively new, there are advantages to using them to increase studentinteraction and learning with mathematics.DiscussionAll three forms of technology discussed above, the graphing calculator, programming software,and VLEs have been shown to have both advantages and disadvantages for teachingundergraduate engineering mathematics. In studies from the referenced journal articles, studentsseem to identify similar positive uses of the technology. These include the ability to graph

scientific oral presentationMethodsConcept maps organize information graphically. They were first developed and used as apedagogical tool in biology by Stewart et al. [2]. In developing a concept map, a student writesdown terms that come to mind as the result of a prompt and connects them with directionalarrows and text describing the nature of the connections. If the concept maps are to be used toassess or evaluate student learning, the instructor must decide not only how to construct theassignment prompt but also how to evaluate the map. Per [1], in engineering education, conceptmaps have been used to assess knowledge integration across an engineering program [3],conceptual understanding in a engineering

puta lot of effort in reducing the dropout rate of part-time engineering students, particularly focusingon dropout that occurs during the freshmen year. With this objective in mind and knowing that thestudents’ experience with the first calculus course is an important variable that may lead a studentto abandon his career plan, we decided to implement active learning methodologies [6] to teachthat course to part-time students. As [7] states, active learning methodologies may directlyinfluence social integration and indirectly affect the student’s dropout decision.In this paper, we introduce what we call Guided-Lecture Team Based Learning (GL-TBL), whichis a learning methodology whose core relies on the well-known Team Based Learning (TBL
