The original goal ofthe freshman course was to teach students the early portions of the sophomore year DC circuitscourse at a relaxed pace. The course has evolved over the recent years to respond to students'lack of informal technical and tooling backgrounds by adding more project-based labexperiences, including activities in the microcontroller and digital circuits areas. Students whoentered the program with such backgrounds, as was the case for the 2+2 structure, seemed to bealready motivated by their previous technical experiences.

prerequisites are omitted from the training data as outliers. To address the impactof noise in the dataset (e.g., outliers and missing parts), which can significantly impairclassification accuracy and prediction quality, we excluded data older than seven years. Thisdecision considers various evolving factors affecting academic performance, such as curriculumchanges, teaching methodologies, policy shifts, and extraordinary circumstances like theCOVID-19 pandemic. Aberrations in student records, like unexpectedly low grades from studentswith otherwise high prerequisite GPAs, are considered noise. These anomalies, possibly due topersonal or medical reasons, are treated as outliers for data integrity.3.3 Feature EngineeringGiven the differences among
