noparticular degree in mind, and only 42% of the balance earned a degree in their initial intention.He thus concluded that there is considerable migration within an institution and that thismigration is a result of different factors that initially led students to their choice of major. Hefurther concludes that of the most capable students there is no difference in completion ratesbetween women and men and that the persistence to graduation of those students who reach the“threshold” (defined as completing entry-level courses) in engineering are higher than in mostother fields. Adelman (op cit) defines “curricular momentum” as a phenomenon that begins inhigh school and carries through into college and is related to academic success in requiredcourses

The advantage of this method is minimal samplepreparation and no chemical treatments to samples.

A scoping literaturereview offers an initial evaluation of the extent of the current literature on a specific topic andidentifies the depth of that research. Identifying the scope and depth of prior research is helpfulfor researchers to highlight gaps in existing bodies of research, determine if one or moresystematic reviews are necessary, and identify trends in the existing literature [5].The first step in our scoping review process was to conduct an initial search through GoogleScholar

a significant hurdle for sophomores in engineering. Many are intimidated and don’t know where to start. • Many students don’t ask the question, “Does my answer make sense”. • Students are often frustrated with their Physics course and feel like it moves too quickly through topics.With these observations in mind, the goal was to create a class that would try and remedy someof these problems. It was hoped that the creation of this class at the freshman year would have ameasurable effect on student success in the sophomore year. The goal of this paper is to examinewhat effect the Engineering Analysis course has on the sophomore engineering and physicsclasses.Description of Engineering Analysis CourseThe engineering analysis

troubleshooting. With that in mind, a sample of institutions providingthe two-year degrees in electrical/electronic engineering technology was surveyed. The mainitems that were investigated were the programs’ focus and the approach that they used (bottom-to-top or top-to-bottom) based on the program schedule and the course descriptions. (Please notethat bottom-to-top scheme implies teaching from component up to the system level; hence, top-to-bottom means the opposite approach.) All the schools that were part of the survey follow thebottom-to-top approach; the list of them is given in Table 2. Despite this fact, each program hadsome slight differences from the other.

The traditional approachto teaching in combination with creativity-suppressing examination system has profoundlyaffected students’ learning abilities. Colleges of engineering in the Region have set up pre-engineering programs to help prospective engineering students get over their deficiencies.Unfortunately these programs were instituted to teach English only, and paid very little attentionto reviving math/science or building up desirable traits through a proper learning environment.A Proposal: The author’s
