the department’s mission is to improve retention of first yearengineering students. Research has shown that for engineering students success in the firstcollege mathematics course is critical for retention.1–3 Therefore, a major retention effort by thedepartment has been to improve the teaching and learning in its engineering mathematics coursesusing educational technologies. Many different sections and courses are taught every semesterby a combination of tenure/tenure track and term faculty. The department has worked to see thatthe use of adopted educational technologies is reasonably consistent across courses and faculty,and that the use of the technologies persists beyond any initial pilot phase.

Abstract In this paper we describe the initiative to sponsor graduate level research and education inthe field known as “Appropriate Technology” at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez(UPRM). These efforts are sponsored by the project “Graduate Research and Education forAppropriate Technology: Inspiring Direct Engagement and Agency (GREAT IDEA)”, which isfunded by NSF. We first provide a brief background on the concept of Appropriate Technology,including our interpretation. We then describe specific thesis research projects and courseworkthat are sponsored by our project. Finally, we outline new ramifications of AppropriateTechnology in Research Ethics, and describe how we address these in courses that we

In this case, it is recommended that the mentor conduct the threeweek interview as if the student was being terminated and then try to minimize furtherinteractions with a poorly performing student. Obviously, this can be difficult – particularly insituations where students continue to be compensated – but is important for mentors who do notwant to waste resources on students who are unprepared, uninterested, or
