The 68-95-99.7 rule or empirical rule states that for anormal distribution, almost all values lie within 3 standard deviations of the mean. From that,about 68% of the values lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean.The ASEM EMBoK7 is used as the basis of comparison to other EM BoKs since it is based onthe undergraduate and graduate EM programs.

A team of K-16 educators andelementary classroom teachers, under the guidance of faculty from the College of Engineeringand Science at Clemson University are developing a K-5 mathematics curriculum programdesigned to prepare students for STEM disciplines and to prepare teachers to effectivelyimplement the program.

Recruitment however, is only one aspect of the problem. A very importantvariable over which individual institutions have more control over is retention. It is of vitalimportance, more than ever before, that students who choose the engineering path are nurturedand retained in the system.

Repeated use ofcomputational tools leads to familiarity, and to what now is called “pervasive computing” in thesense that the slide rule was simply a well-known tool to the student. Most engineeringundergraduate students do not develop like familiarity with computational environments likeMATLAB for the simple reason they do not achieve self-reliance with MATLAB, largelybecause they do not use it throughout their undergraduate experience.The crux issue is that higher order learning, i.e. concept oriented learning, is necessary beforetransference across problem settings is effective.2 To enable higher order learning in the contextof a computer toolset, the tools must be mastered
