DescriptionThe main focus of this NSF Scholarship in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(S-STEM) project is to provide 70 scholarships and student support services to student veteranswhich will address the major barriers to degree completion in engineering and engineeringtechnology. Students who participate in this program are veterans who are either juniors orseniors. They also have to demonstrate a financial need, motivation, and proven academicexcellence, and have exhausted their Post-911 GI Bill benefits. The students participating in thisprogram are from one of the following majors that are available at our college. These are: Civiland Environmental Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical andAerospace Engineering

Several studies havebeen carried out with elementary and grade school students to learn more about human reactionto mathematics [5], yet fewer studies have been done on college students or later. Furthermore,the majority of these research studies on college students focus on first-year students enrolled ina mathematics course [3].

Generally, active learning refers to activities that are introduced into the classroom, withthe core elements of student activity and engagement in the learning process. In summary, activelearning

The focus of P1’smodel of voltage and current is through the mathematical relationship, V = I * R (where V =voltage, I = current, and R = resistance), or its permutation, I = V / R. The three variables in theequation are treated as mathematical quantities, with no direct reference to anything physical.Thus, in the first equation, when V changes, I must change proportionately; but in the secondequation, if I increases, then V must increase and R must decrease. P1 states that this only workssome of the time, but P1 does not know what to do when it does not. The terms “voltage” and“current” are often used together, with the idea that
