, such as increased retention [7], predictions oflower time-to-graduation rates [8], improved math skills or readiness [9], and general collegereadiness [5].Based on the unique needs at Tennessee Tech University, the RAMP program was developedwith several goals. The highest priority was advancing math knowledge; it was important as well © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023to increase students’ self-efficacy in math, as studies have shown that when students’ self-effi-cacy increases, their performance increases [10]. Moreover, the program was developed to pro-vide incoming freshmen with a way to engage, to get involved, and to gain a sense of belonging,as evidence suggests a strong correlation between these

efforts these centers ofhigher education had made to specifically support engineering students in their math courses. Aresource as specific as an engineering math resource center was not found in any otheruniversity, although other resources, including broad curriculum changes (such as thoseimplemented at Wright State University [2]), university-wide math tutoring centers, and summerprograms were explored. Therefore, rather than following a previously implemented model for amath resource center, the creation of the EMRC at USU focused on underlying conceptuallearning principles. These principles included the importance of self-efficacy, storytelling as amethod for student engagement, and presenting math principles in a suitable context.Based on

efforts, outcomes, and student responses received by introducing ML tofirst-year engineering students in ENES100.PilotDuring the spring 2023 semester, a machine learning curriculum was piloted to three sections,totaling 120 students in ENES100. The goal was to determine the most effective way toimplement ML in ENES100. The team decided that the integration of hands-on, interactivemachine learning projects would be the most beneficial approach. Huang used a project basedlearning (PBL) paradigm when designing a machine learning module for first-year students atLoyola Marymount University because PBL has been shown to positively impact studentengagement, motivation, and self-efficacy [2]. Since ENES100 already follows a project basedapproach

Traditionally, the graded handwritten assignments includenotes from the instructor or the course TA pointing at the student’s mistake [7]. It is assumed thatif the graded work is returned to the students with enough delay, students would review theirown work and correct their mistakes for the next assignment/quiz/exam. However, there is noclear evidence to show this method is effective and to ensure that the students have reviewed thegraded assignments.In this article, I present early results using descriptive analysis comparing student grades inElectronics I from groups who participated in

Furthermore, underrepresented groups in graduate education often contend with elevated oradditional challenges to their preparation and Socialization because of their historically marginalizedsocial identities.
