Has further assessment been made to measure the effectiveness of the change(s) made?The primary modes of assessment asked about were surveys, focus groups, and advisory boards,along with an “other” category to allow for the accounting of other assessment modes. Of the113 responses to this question, 99.1% of the programs reported using one or more surveyinstruments, with 55.8% using paper surveys, 42.5% using e-mail surveys, 60.2% using web-based surveys, and 4.4% using telephone surveys. The next highest used mode was the industrialadvisory board, with 87.6% of the programs indicating their use.

Tobias3 defines first tier engineering students as those who have intentions and abilityto earn science degrees and do so. Second tier are students who have the initial intention andability but instead switch to nonscientific fields. For many engineering students who start atcommunity colleges or are a “second tier” student, the calculus math sequence is a key factor intheir decision to complete an engineering degree and then their time to graduation. This is due inpart to the math prerequisites required for engineering and physics courses. To finish anengineering degree in four years, a student needs to start in calculus 1 in the fall of the first
