The developmental math course provides the mathbackground necessary for these students to enter college-level math courses. Most of the studentshave little difficulty in passing the developmental math course, but they have very poorunderstanding of how to use the abstract concepts learned in math to solve problems. Thisweakness causes many students to do poorly in subsequent technical courses and/or to give up ona career in engineering. The introduction to engineering course serves as a bridge between theabstract concepts learned in math and their application to ÀrealÀ

During this meeting the groupreviews each student’s semester gpa, cumulative gpa, degree gpa, and department admission gpa.The group also monitors matriculation through courses required for admission into departmentstatus and accordingly sets specific and measurable goals for each student.

However, It has also been observed that the best students, in terms of indicators suchas GPA, are not always the ones to excel in their careers.The central issues facing academic institutions are then:• How to assess student performance with respect to broad-spectrum academic/industry benchmark.• How to provide a learning environment so that the students can realize their full career potential.• How to improve team-work and communication skills.This paper discusses the summary analysis of an electrical engineering graduate coursetitled "Real-time Control Systems".

Despite intentions to pursue further education,the realities of full-time employment and the extended duration required to complete a degreepart-time often deter these students from achieving their educational aspirations. Literatureindicates that students who continue in engineering careers typically demonstrate high levels ofself-efficacy and identify strongly with the engineering community [1,2]. Although research onself-efficacy and engineering identity has expanded, it predominantly focuses on the initialcollege experience [3,4].

An additional goal is the improvement of retention ratesby increasing students' interest in the engineering field.

areas of the United States have less access to computer science education and are underrepresented in computer science majors and careers. At the same time, many rural occupations such as agriculture are becoming reliant on technology, and there is a need for skilled computer scientists with a rural background and skillset to develop effective tools and software that can be used in those occupations. In addition, the values of grit, determination, self-sufficiency, and perseverance often studied in rural populations are also attributed to successful computer scientists. Given the need for rural students to participate in computer science careers, and the overlap in rural values and the qualities of good
