The format,which was established with a grant from the National Science Foundation and had been in placesince 2004, has led to significant gains in both retention and graduation rates in the College ofEngineering and Applied Sciences (CEAS). CEAS is working to identify additional supportprograms to complement the gains that have already been made. Part of this work involvestrying to establish traits shared by successful (and non-successful) students.For the past two fall semesters, first-year students in CEAS have been recruited to complete astart-of-semester survey that includes questions related to aspects of their personality as well asself-efficacy and mindset.

tendency becoming more towards the theoretical from the practical. Many faculty overthe years have regretted the loss of the "hands on" experience of lab work. Theory courses mostoften lack the hands-on experience that is given traditional lab courses and do not resonate wellwith the students without the lab component [4].In order to rectify the problem, software simulations have been proposed to replace the labcomponent. While simulations can be used to reinforce concepts, they could not adequatelypresent problems that students could encounter in a real laboratory, nor would they provide theappropriate hands-on experience necessary for effective learning [5], [6]. Despite the fact that thecourses can greatly be supported by simulation tools

These problems often requirestudents to do additional research, connect graphs, tables, and equations, and provide supportingdetails beyond merely solving a problem. In addition, the workshop problems force students tobe metacognitive in order to make personal connections to learning [15].

Even the engineers who work with highlydiscontinuous functions first need to study the elementary functions. A definition in terms ofepsilons requires a proof in terms of epsilons. The function definition provided in almost all highschool and college texts used in differential calculus courses includes nowhere differentiablefunctions. In no way is this logical. In a differential calculus course, functions should beintroduced as mostly smooth curves. This would naturally lead to all the concepts needed byengineers. The functions of calculus
