to allow greater studentparticipation. Although, some scholars say that such a method puts forth a completely differentapproach to college education compared to a traditional lecture format (Midgley, 2002). Therefore, it is important to assess the students’ learning capabilities and not just his/hermemory (Brown & Cooper, 1976). In other words, assessment of learning is not a third-partyresearch project or someone’s questionnaire; it must be viewed as a community effort or nothing,driven by a faculty's own commitment to reflect, judge, and improve (Marchese, 1991 & 1997). Hawkins and Winter’s ACORN model also helps to document ideas and providesguidelines to conquering and mastering change (Hawkins and Winter, 1997

We were mindful in conductingthe study that, as it relates to students, ... “... retention is not then the goal; retention is the result or by-product of improved programs and services in our classrooms and elsewhere on campus that contribute to student success.” 1As such, in understanding factors that influence student success in calculus (and their curricula)we hope to provide the

Broadening participation is a term used todescribe increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in STEM fields. This includesproviding STEM exposure, access, and opportunities for individuals from underrepresentedgroups. According to the

Technology contains a variety of resources that support the differentproblems students have in the doing of and learning about design through experience. Throughthe Design Learning Simulator research, we have been exploring issues about what resources toprovide to students and how to make them available. In the Spring, 1996 quarter, the DesignLearning Simulator was implemented in a Web-based platform and included model designreports, electronic versions of class documents, resources to support team formation, resources tonegotiate project requirements, and an on-line parts catalog. During this period, we receivedgenerally positive feedback from the students through survey questions, exit interviews, andtestimonials. In this paper, we explore a

Weargue that rural libraries—often the only public institution that provides free access to learningresources—can address this challenge by positioning them as hubs to broaden engineeringparticipation. One particularly effective yet unexplored way to facilitate engineering learning inrural libraries is through online learning.
