Also, flipped classroom methods often include PL [21].However, this literature search did not yield any results dealing with PPPL or GGPL methods,except for our previous work [22 and 23]. There, PPPL is first defined, then implemented in a labproject, and compared to a PL only learning method, all in an f2f environment. Here, some of theresults from [22 and 23] are compared to PPPL as implemented in a cyberspace lab environment.Curricular Context The lab project described here is a part of a required one-semester three credit-hourundergraduate senior-level Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) course taught inmechatronics and industrial engineering.

startedlooking into the feasibility of making the graduate engineering program more accessible. Thiswould not only allow us to meet the growing demand for engineers in West Michigan, but itwould be well aligned with our program’s student-centric focus. To prepare the students for thegraduate-level engineering work, an exhaustive list of prerequisite undergraduate classes thatstudents must take has been approved. While each applicant’s curriculum is tailored, GVSU’sSchool of Engineering developed a general plan to onboard students from a variety of non-engineering undergraduate backgrounds. Applicants are granted conditional admission to thegraduate program predicated on completing the prerequisite classes with a B or better grade.These plans allow the

. Students taking the engineering math intervention coursewere retained in the college of engineering at much higher rates (over 70% versus roughly 56%)and were also farther along in the math curriculum one year later.This improvement is achieved by providing the students an opportunity to remediate and retakethe math placement test in a given semester and by providing math-in-context examples throughengineering based lectures. By providing an opportunity for students increase their placementscore high enough to move more than one course through the curriculum, they are incentivized towork through and persist through any difficult topics. This may be a superior motivator for somestudents.In Fall of 2015 the course was modified again and began using

Furthermore, there is a lack ofprogram outcomes assessments for Project Infinity, while reports on PLTW have shown existingissues. For instance, a curriculum content analysis concluded that the PLTW curriculumaddressed fewer content standards and showed far fewer points of integration of mathematicalknowledge than would be expected 3. Further, other published empirical studies showed mixedresults from state achievement test scores 4. In addition, neither of these two programs arealigned with the current standards.

Students forming friendships and student group is a major goal of the change in advising. Forming student cohorts around a major, with a Peer Adviser has been very helpful for some students. Having a network of friends is important in helping students normalize their experiences. This is also helpful in forming study groups. Students know each other, and have people they can study with before major exams. Peer Advisers are helping uncover problems early. The Peer advisers are helping students normalize their experiences especially the stress students feel during their first round of Midterm exams. To hear an
