average rate of learning retention from a lecture is relativelylow compared with the learning retention associated with other learning activities such asdiscussion or “practice by doing” [2]. In a recent study, inspired by signals and systems theory, the engineering student learningwas linked to the assessment process that he/she undertakes during his/her studies. Modeled by aso-called “ideal sampler”, the assessment process is perceived as a system that takes a “snapshotof the student’s mind” on a regular basis, reconstructs the (continuous) “knowledge signal”acquired by the student and compares it to a “desired knowledge signal”. The resultingknowledge signal “error” is then used to simultaneously improve learning retention andevaluation

A person with goodconceptual understanding would be able to explain phenomena in simplified terms which willenable finding the critical parameters governing a behavior. Once an engineer knows whatgoverns, analysis can be used to compute how much is required for the exact response needed.To measure conceptual understanding we intend to use the Dynamics Concept Inventorydeveloped by the Foundation Coalition 2 as a pre- and post-test. 3.

Exercises can also be developed which teach a specific topic, sometimes moreefficiently than a traditional lecture. One objection raised to active learning is that it takes timeaway from other aspects of the course. As this shows active learning exercises can be structuredso that they take the place of certain lecture components thereby preserving the content to classtime ratio.When formulating specific exercises several things must be kept in mind.

links between student'spsychological state of mind and their academic performance and persistence over the course of asemester in a Statics class. It is well known that students perceive Statics as a "threshold" or"weed out" class due to its low passing rates [1, 2] that are often below 70%. Students who areunable to pass the course may ultimately withdraw from an engineering major. As a result,persistence and retention in engineering is hampered, which is typically magnified inunderrepresented groups.The primary goal of this research is to identify links between students' self-efficacy, motivation,emotional states, and other factors that may serve as early-warning indicators of dropout.
