of the freshmanprograms, a summary of changes accomplished, and the retention statistics for the College ofEngineering.IntroductionIn 1988, at The Ohio State University the retention of engineering students to the junior yearranged between 40 and 50 percent. See Figure 1. This followed the national norms. In the early1990’s the Ohio State College of Engineering became part of the NSF funded GatewayEngineering Education Coalition. The other members of the Coalition were Drexel University,Columbia University, Cooper Union, New Jersey Institute of Technology, University ofPennsylvania, University of South Carolina, and Florida International University. One focus ofthe Coalition’s efforts was to improve retention to the junior year by using

.· The student is then required to answer the question within a reasonable amount of time (usually two minutes). The student is encouraged to “think aloud” on the board..· The student first tries to answer the question alone. Modest hints may be given by the instructor, and limited dialogue between the student and instructor may take place.· If the student is stumped s/he can “ask the audience”, whereby the audience votes but does not comment on which answer they prefer. The votes are recorded by the instructor on the blackboard. The student is then asked to provide their “FINAL ANSWER.”· If the student did not “ask the audience”, then a poll is taken after the student has submitted their answer, to gage the class’ response

of the project.Throughout the course, students from both majors gained a greater appreciation for their critical role in climatemitigation and adaptation strategies. They also had a much better understanding about how cities in New England areapproaching the problem of climate adaptation while also encouraging economic development. Lastly, the studentsgained valuable skills in cross-disciplinary approaches which they will need in their careers. Project outcomes,successes and challenges, and feedback from student reflection essays will be shared during this presentation.Sources:Zollinger, Stephanie Watson, Denise Guerin, Tasoulla Hadjiyanni, and Caren S.

The course instructor’sresponsibilities are to give insight to the instructional design professional on the goals of thecourse and how they may want hybrid learning to be incorporated into the class. An instructor isalso responsible for providing the material to be used for the online component and can helpreview the developed content.The second team member is the instructional design professional.

Although there are billions of wireless cell phones inuse1 and billions of PCs have been sold, the vast majority of electronics is embedded in products2which one typically does not consider as being electronic devices. This perception is most likelydue to the fact that these products historically did not originally contain electronics to controltheir operation(s) or to make them more functional, efficient, reliable, secure, and safe.Furthermore, the interface between the user and the electronics has typically been designed tofurther remove the user from
