The corequisite course has been approved by the university curriculumcommittee and is a regular offering at the institution.The initial offering of the corequisite course occurred during the COVID pandemic necessitatingthe use of additional instructional technology. There was also an increase in low stakesassessments to encourage students to engage in the material. The added credits also increased theregularity of student interacting with calculus. Since the implementation of this pilot course,there have been several similar changes in

The study in this paper focuses specifically on disciplinary migration that occursfrom the bachelor’s to the master’s for students whose undergraduate degree is in a Science,Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) field and whose graduate degree is in somefield of engineering, and sets out some characteristics of these students.Literature ReviewStudies have been performed to understand why students switch majors at the undergraduatelevel, especially in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields [1].However, no similar studies have been performed to determine why students switch majors at thegraduate level from what they previously studied in their undergraduate degree.

Algebra and Trigonometry) were not as impressive. Students in the PLTLgroups in College Algebra only had average grades 0.2 points higher than non-participants, while the Trigonometry students demonstrated little impact from the PLTLgroups. This difference may be a result of the students’ self-perceived need for the PLTLgroups, with Calculus-level students seeing a greater need for the groups.In this paper, the format of the PLTL groups is described in detail, and a detailed analysisof the impact of the PLTL groups on the student grades is presented.IntroductionIn the United States today, there is great interest in increasing the number of studentsgraduating from college in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) disciplines

byconvergent thinking and both types of thinking have been explored for an appropriate amount oftime. The act of developing an engineering design process, which is a balance of divergent andconvergent thinking strategies, can be an obstacle to problem solving and is not intuitive. It is forthis reason that teaching the engineering design process and helping students overcome thisobstacle is necessary in engineering education.Using Video as DataVideo recording technology is a data collection instrument which allows researchers to collectboth auditory and visual information and re-enter the study environment even after the study isdone [1, 18].
