. Data is also presented for engineeringstudents who enrolled in Physics 1 but never enrolled in CE 113 or who enrolled in Physics 1prior to enrolling in CE 113 (Population B). From Spring 2016 until Spring 2019, there were 159students in Population B. Figure 2 shows a visual comparison between the percentages ofstudents earning each grade for each of the population groups. The data shows that thepercentage of students in Population A is higher for A and B grades, while the percentage ofstudents in Population B is higher for C, D, F, and W grades. In fact, 0% of Population A earneda grade of D, F, and W. In general, students who were enrolled in CE 113 concurrently or priorto Physics 1 performed better than students who either never enrolled in

responsibility for the operationand maintenance of the 3D printing lab.This class has been met with great enthusiasm from students, instructors and administrators; andhas resulted in many creative and surprisingly complex, meticulously implemented projects. Aninitiative was begun in the fall 2019 semester, where embedded control capability wasincorporated into many of the existing projects by students with minimal programming experience.This has proven to have had a positive impact on making projects more realistic and on capturingstudent interest. This paper will provide an overview of our methodology in order to allow otherinstitutions to develop a similar model.IntroductionIt is widely recognized among those engaged in engineering education that
