on Initial Math PlacementAbstractThis work-in-progress (WIP) paper details a study of engineering student success and retentionbased on initial math placement. Many engineering programs' four-year plans of study are basedon first-semester placement in a Calculus math class. This makes math placement a criticaldeterminant for a student's ability to graduate in four years. Post-COVID, the math readiness ofgraduating high school students has been declining, resulting in more first-year engineeringstudents being placed in pre-calculus math classes. Gonzaga University’s School of Engineeringand Applied Science was experiencing a similar rise in pre-calculus math placement. Readilyavailable institutional data showed a decrease in student retention

Due to the anonymous nature of the survey and lack of identifiable data collected,it is possible that one institution is represented multiple times within the survey data. However,we believe this is unlikely as the survey was sent out broadly and with instructions for labinstructors to fill it out on behalf of their institution, including collaborative efforts amongstmultiple instructors if desired.Figure 1.

In the present work, we describe thesymposium in more detail, as well as focus on two questions asked of students in the post-symposium survey. These questions are: a.

determine (1) whether studentengagement with UDL tools is self-informative and (2) to assess whether these interactions can beused to detect engagement changes. Two key UDL components are studied: (a) digital forms,which facilitate non-graded participation and formative feedback, and (b) multimedia tools thatprovide accessible, self-paced learning opportunities. Student interactions are analyzed usingauto-regressive models, including ARIMA, SARIMA, and advanced machine learning methodslike GRU and CatBoost. The study also employs Pruned Exact Linear Time (PELT) to detectsignificant engagement shifts. Findings suggest that student interaction data predicts futureengagement, with GRU performing best in minimizing absolute errors and ARIMA excelling
