. If they did not continueor sustain their implementation of the active learning strategies, this may explain some of theobserved data in the post-participation grades. Additionally, developing successful teachingpractices takes time, and thus there could be delayed effects of implementation on studentachievement. This lag time, either in implementation of consistent active learning teachingpractices or in quality of active learning teaching in the classroom, could be an explanation forthe observed results. As such, we plan on continuing this analysis in the future to assess forpotential changes over time.As noted above, the project employed the RTOP classroom observations to provide a reliableand objective account of which faculty made

Because facultyplay such a primary role in the life of the university, it is essential to better understand theirattitudes and actions towards diversity.12A review of the literature indicates that most faculty support the notion that a diverse studentbody is good for student learning even though many faculty believe that students of color are notas qualified as applicants from the majority group.13-15 While many institutions, colleges, anddepartments have developed diversity plans, statements and initiatives, a disconnection oftenexists between institutional policy and faculty commitment to diversity.16 Most troubling is thatengineering faculty, who are predominately

The concrete research question of thisstudy is: Can high school information for underrepresented students and their ACT scores beused to predict the student’s academic performance? We hypothesize that, academic performancefrom underrepresented high schools cannot alone be used to predict the performance of a student.A student’s success is determined on motivational and personal characteristics24. Admitting astudent based solely on the current criteria is not a good practice. In our study, an additionalquantitative factor, URS, will be introduced to assist in admitting underrepresented
