Students that placeinto either developmental math or college algebra are enrolled in the course. Many of theseplacements, however, are below where the student should be placed based on previously completedcoursework. However, these students have scored a 24 or lower on the ACT math test, or havetaken the university math placement exam and been placed at this level based on that score. Figure 1.

IntroductionFor a mechanical engineering program, one of the main learning outcomes is that students candesign machine components. To design a safe component, students are required to apply theappropriate failure theories to evaluate the factor of safety at possible weak points. In order toapply failure theories for evaluating the factor of safety, students must know the

Identityand belonging have been consistently linked to student success and retention in engineering, butthe majority of studies focus on undergraduate students 1–3. Graduate school presents uniquechallenges to students’ development of engineering identities and is both a key element of theSTEM pipeline and a point at which many students leave academia 4.

Beginning from their first physics course, studentsare used to solving problems with equations. However, most of the working substances inengineering applications are not ideal gases, and they cannot be described by equations. Instead,students have to rely on the data tables to find the solutions [1]. Furthermore, this courseintroduces many new concepts, which cannot be well understood without reflecting on themwhen working on the exercise problems. Unfortunately
