Although many factors have been reported to contribute to the successfulcompletion of an engineering degree, a model has not been developed to allow at-risk students tobe identified for early intervention. The objective of this study was to discover the parametersthat are most sensitive and predictive of success in a key course in the electrical engineeringdegree program at our university and to utilize these parameters to construct such a model.Any engineering discipline requires several semesters worth of calculus-based mathematics andphysics prerequisites. It is obvious to hypothesize that the academic performance of studentsduring the first few semesters of their college career must have an impact on their

Math skills are recognized as essential tothe success of future engineers. However, other skills are integral to the engineering career path.Within industry, it is communication skills that often make or break careers. Technically capableengineers will find their careers stagnating without well-developed communication skills, which are anessential part of engineering work. In fact, it has been shown that engineers spend over half theirworking days (55-60%) communicating both orally and in writing [1]. When engineers were surveyedabout the most important

All ABET-accrediteduniversities maintain a design requirement per ABET learning outcomes B and C for the 2018-2019 requirements [1]. However, our emphasis on design is focused to obtain early engineeringprinciples such as hands-on understanding of force, energy and motion. We believe that thesethree principles are one of the most significant topics to cover at an early stage, as instruction inthese areas can lay the foreground to higher levels of Mechanical Engineering concepts such asstress, strain, tension, torsion, and more - all of which are implemented in the upper-level designcourses at NMT.Course Structure RedesignThe introduction to Mechanical Engineering course was
