andsubmitted to the Bay College curriculum committee in the fall of 2014, which was then firstoffered to students during the Fall 2015 semester (Figure 1). Five students initially majored inthe program, but several classes benefited from strong enrollment due to their inclusion in otherdegree programs on campus. This practice of including courses from the new major in otherwell-established degree programs on campus proved to be a valuable lesson learned that isrecommended for other colleges looking to replicate this model. For example, CircuitFundamentals I had a total of 17 students enrolled during its initial offering due to its inclusionas an option within the water resource management program. This benefit of including courses

In fact, thispaper/presentation will cover continuous improvement opportunities that were identified throughthe assessment of the project work. Some of the problems that were identified and addressedinclude inadequate and untimely project selection by companies, students wasting time gettingstarted, weak team leadership, and ambiguous root causes.1.

The returns were from Electrical/Electronics ET (7), Manufacturing ET (5), MechanicalET (4), Civil ET (6), Electronics and Industrial ET (2), Electrical and Computer ET (1), andNuclear and Electronics ET (1). All the programs that participated in the study had an IAB. The full wording of all the questions is found in the Appendix.Results The first question had to do with how often the program meets with their IAB. Table 1summarizes the results. As with the authors’ own experience, one or two meetings per yearseems to be the most common use of IABs

labs must be current and include equipment thatthe students may experience in industry. At the start of the year, the Department is given a$50,000 university budget for equipment and materials for the year; of which approximately$30,000 is spent solely on laboratory materials. Thus, of the Departmental budget, $20,000 canbe used for equipment – in all labs. Figure 1 shows the breakdown of support to the universitybetween student tuition and state appropriations. As the amount of support from the statedecreases, the student tuition increases, and thus, each year, students pay higher tuition.

lower engagement with the discipline andless interaction with faculty and student organizations.There is little investigation of students who leave engineering and pursue degrees in ET. Theleaky pipeline to STEM professions is well known by researchers. However, the reasons studentsleave are less universal. Research on faculty perceptions of student persistence in STEM studiesshow study habits, commitment to educational goals, and family support as primary influencingfactors [1], but other researchers report that the main reasons students depart from engineeringand STEM fields are non-academic [2, 3, 4]. Furthermore, George-Jackson [4] reports that not allstudents who leave engineering leave STEM, and calls upon researchers to learn more

WhereasLightboard videos were provided to students for lectures 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 during theSpring 2017 semester, students in the following Fall 2017 semester were provided Lightboardvideos for lectures 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13.Alternating the videos in this manner provided the course instructor with a direct comparison ofstudent performance, on identical in-class assignments, with and without having viewed theLightboard videos.

applications of convolution and linear time-invariant systems at anintroductory level can be difficult. The in-class research assignment was an attempt todemonstrate meaningful application of these two fundamental theories.The research assignment asked students to (1) model the acoustical response of various spacesusing an acoustical impulse response and (2) find an adequate acoustical simulation of animpulse signal.Fun and applicable experiments that help move the theory from numbers on a paper to thephysical world, can engage students by capturing the imagination and help with comprehensionof somewhat abstract concepts. The experiments were particularly engaging for three studentswho conducted additional research based on the course experiments

A collaborative audit targets at least four of these areas and possiblymore. Specifically, this audit encourages: 1) leadership and management of safety, 2)cooperative interactions at multiple levels, 3) the development of positive safety attitudes, safetyawareness, and safety ethics, and 4) the promotion and encouragement of communication aboutsafety.

Environmental Engineering or Architectural Engineering studentsmay also take this course as an elective. Students generally take this course in their junior/senioryear, it is a pre-requisite for the advanced geometric design capstone class, and students shouldhave completed the Geomatics course before enrolling in Transportation Engineering.Approximately forty students take this course every year.

In this paperperformance analysis of such an inexpensive set of hardware is discussed for introductorycontrol theory class. The hardware is smaller in size and shows satisfactory experimentalperformance, which suggests that this can be a good fit for introductory control theorylaboratory.IntroductionStudies show that introductory control theory classes have a growing need for laboratoryexercise. But many difficulties like cost, class size and space limitations arise when laboratoriesare included [1, 2]. The New Earth Robotics Motor Lab (NERMLAB) can be a solution to theseproblems.

Regression Analysis to Predict Student Electric Circuits Performance Matthew G. Young, Edward Carl Greco Jr., Scott Jordan, Thomas LimperisIntroductionThe ability to predict future engineering student performance based upon previous academicperformance would be a useful tool for identifying at-risk students and increasing retention inengineering programs. Student persistence in engineering programs relates to previous courseperformance [1]. Many courses offered in engineering programs occur in specific sequencessuch that one course can have several prerequisites. An analysis of prerequisite courseperformance can be useful for predicting future student performance [2]. In fact, studies haveshown that pre-college academic
