A primary outcome of the course is to prepare students toconstruct, understand and analyze linear time-invariant models for physical systems. Many ofthe core concepts introduced in class to achieve this outcome are considered rather abstract by asignificant percentage of students and there are often considerable disconnects in their abilities tolink theoretical course concepts, computational

higher rates than theirpeers. Students who are likely to persist in engineering reported supportive relationships withmentors, positive near peer role models, a strong sense of community, and an intention tocomplete their engineering major. Yet, accessing these support systems is often challenging forlow-income students, who are more likely to work long hours and spend more time off campusand less likely to have adequate opportunities to interact with others in their major and seethemselves in role models and as part of that community. The COVID-19 pandemic disruptedthe higher education plans and financial viability of UCSB engineering students, especially thosefrom low-income families. In addition to increased financial hardships, these

This means that courses offered must be streamlined to cover essentialtheory but still provide a sufficient number of application problems to achieve competency relevant tothe discipline 2.
