score corresponds to the student's firstattempt to solve the worksheet, where no educational resources are available. In other words,these results come exclusively from the student's prior knowledge. In contrast, the maximumscore may match the student's final try, i.e., when the student solves the worksheet successfullyafter studying MATH 101's material. Of course, there are cases where the students only require asingle attempt to solve the worksheet satisfactorily; in these cases, the minimum and maximumscores are equal. Finally, note that the average number of attempts is a relative measure of thetopic's difficulty; the closer to 1, the easier it was for the student to pass to the next module.With the following topic-by-topic analysis, we can

National Academies Gathering Storm committee concluded several years ago that theprimary driver of the future economy, security of the United States (US) as a nation, andconcomitant creation of jobs would be innovation—largely derived from advances in scienceand, particularly, in engineering [1]. It has been estimated that close to 50% of the students whobegin their education in engineering do not follow through to the completion of an engineeringdegree [2]-[5]. Some studies have further documented that the propensity for engineeringstudents to attrit is particularly high during their first two years of college [2], [4]. Givenengineers’ critical role in the growth of the U.S.’s economy, security as a nation, and creation ofjobs, this high-level of
