hours that were transformed into study sessions onstudents’ homework and exam grades. At a medium sized (4000-8000 undergraduate students),public, primarily undergraduate, hispanic serving 4-year institution, hour-long study sessions wereheld once per week the evening before homework was due for both a dynamics course and athermodynamics course. The courses and study sessions were led by the same instructor. The studysessions were voluntary and did not directly influence course grades, but attendance records showthat on average 17% of students attended on any given week. Data were collected on study sessionattendance, homework grades, midterm grades on the three midterm exams, gender, ethnicity, andPell grant status, in Fall 2019 (Dynamics and

quite small.In conclusion, the study indicates that Male URM students and Female non-URM studentsperform as well as their peers in courses organized using the SMART method. Further study iswarranted to determine if targeted interventions will counter the negative effect seen amongFemale URM students, which may be impacted by their significant degree of doubleunderrepresentation (2% of course population).References 1.

Our main conclusion is that in the absence of allaspects of the MSU implementation, the learning outcome gains may not be achievable.AcknowledgementsThis research was conducted under local IRB protocol number 1907008977.

. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019    Introducing EngOTG: A Framework for an Audio Study Material App for Engineering StudentsABSTRACTAuditory learning tools, such as recorded study materials, are very commonly used in manydisciplines and have proven to be effective for second-language learners, learning-disabledstudents, and struggling readers. However, such tools have been seldom used in science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, mostly because of the technicalnature of the subjects. The objective of this study is to investigate the features of audio studymaterials that could improve student learning and
