The purpose of this paper was to determine if HE program retained over-preparedstudents at a higher rate than those who did not participate and to compare grade point averagesand retention rates of these same student populations. We found that those students whoparticipated in HE were retained at a higher rate (91%) than the general FEP population (70%),and the population of over-prepared students who did not participate in HE (84%). The studentswho participated in HE also achieved higher first fall and cumulative first spring GPAs comparedto those who did not participate.KeywordsFaculty Paper, Retention, First-Year Engineering, Critical Thinking, Hands-on

In our case, we are fortunate to be able to work with the university’s ownarts museum, which is at the heart of our STEAM project.

A significant increase was observed in homework grades, which potentially can beattributed to the inverted format that allowed for more time in class to work on example andhomework problems. In addition to the increased performance in grades for the lower half of theclass, positive feedback was received through comments on the teaching surveys.

SoftwareProgrammable logic software and high-level language compilers for microcontrollers aresupplied by hardware vendors. They are usually packaged as a part of an IntegratedDevelopment Environment (IDE), which enables a project to be created and simulated, andfinally the hardware programmed. In many cases these are usually available free of charge,especially for educational use. A very significant factor for faculty is academic support for thesoftware in regard to the course textbook. A textbook that supports the chosen software by wayof examples and tutorials is viewed very positively by the students. In fact, given that thesoftware is often free, this may be the deciding factor for software selection.In terms of programmable logic, the most widely
