In addition, students are now required to earn at least 70% of the totalnumber of possible points in order to obtain a C, instead of only requiring demonstrating ofmastery. This scheme will subsequently remove the outliers observed in Figure 2. It will alsoreduce the burden on the instructor with respect to making a strict determination of whether astudent will pass or fail very early in the semester.References[1] B. S.

Because of the fast pace of technological progress,the evolution of standards, and the non-stop growth in the application space, it isimpossible to teach our students everything that they need to master.

Many engineering classes are already oversaturated withtechnical material leaving the discussion of current events and social changes that impact oureveryday lives for general education courses. This tendency is reinforced by cultural aspects ofengineering emphasizing technical skills over social

Theexperience of working in a close-knit team with direct access to your supervisor is difficult toemulate via distance learning. When combined with the UK education pedagogy and teachingexperience the whole joint-school experience is difficult to substitute. Consequently the threatof substitution is considered low.4.
