expected to improvetheir math placement by at least one semester. It is expected that improving their mathplacement will reduce the student’s time-to-graduation which should in turn improve retentionrates and eventually graduation rates. However, the program will not effectively reduce thetime-to-graduation if students do not succeed in their subsequent math courses. Data from the2009 cohort have been collected and analyzed to judge the effectiveness of the program withrespect to the students’ performance in future math courses. It was found that in all categories ofbridge program students, the students performed as well as the class average, while somecategories of students clearly benefited from attending the summer program.In addition, further

Because this materialis a foundation for many engineering disciplines, the improvement of learning in these coursescan have a significant impact on engineering education.The workshop has been offered in different formats from a multi-day workshop to shorterconference mini-workshops.

The numerical rating was removed and replaced with asimple yes/no question asking if the student felt proficient in each competency. In addition, thestudents were asked to select two of the competencies in which they felt weakest and explain thereason for the weakness.These simple adjustments greatly increased the effectiveness of the student surveys with noadditional overhead cost. The data readily identify competencies that are problematic forstudents and (more importantly) the reasons for the

after the bridge program, it is likely that there were some residual effects on theother students’ math skills after participating in the bridge program. While the bridge programmay not have been necessary for all of the students who remained in Math 105 after the bridgeprogram, the program did not hurt their progress. The program did aid the math progress of thetwo students who placed into Math 105 after completing the bridge program.Because ultimately the purpose of the bridge program is to accelerate the students’ completion oftheir required math course sequence, and subsequently improve retention and graduation rates oftheses STEM students, it is also of interest to compare the bridge students’ performance to othersin the course.
