The specific aims of this study are to determine 1) the extent to which students thatstart in precalculus persist in engineering after one year, 2) correlations between the grade inengineering students’ first math course and/or the level of that course and persistence inengineering one year later, and 3) the relative number of students that

Introduction“Flipped” classes have surged in popularity over the last three years, driven by the ease ofrecording and posting video content for students to watch, and the need during class timeto compete with distractions from portable electronic devices. Evidence for the benefitsof flipping is starting to mount. Studies have shown improved learning in architecturalengineering and chemistry courses [1], economics [2], and biology [3], among otherfields. Many other studies report student perceptions of improved learning [1, 4, 5] .The instructor who desires to “flip” a class confronts two issues: how to locate or createcontent for use outside of class, and how to

Data Mining for Adverse Event Detection and Action RecommendationAbstractMany real-life data mining applications use sequence data modeling, in which data isrepresented as a sequence. A temporal sequence is a finite ordered list of events (t1,e1),(t2,e2), …,(tn,en) where ti represents time and ei represents the event taking place at time ti.ei takes place before ei+1 for 1≤ i ≤ n-1. This model can be used in data mining, calledsequence data mining, to predict certain event that may take place at a specific time.Sequence data mining has a wide range of applications. This data mining technique canbe used for prediction of adverse events and can recommend appropriate actions to betaken as needed. In aviation safety, the

Norm-referenced grading, popularlyknown as grading on a “curve,” involves grading students on the basis of their rankings within aparticular cohort. It is typically contrasted with criterion-referenced grading, which involvescomparing students’ achievements with clearly stated criteria for learning outcomes and
