How do their graduation rates compare? Does the amount of time tograduate differ between the two groups? These concerns center on issues of course sequence and“flow” to graduation. The additional semester of math required in the freshman year may impactthe course selections available to the student in the second and third semesters due to pre- andco-requisite requirements, which may affect overall success and retention.Based on the results of this study, the extended, two-semester, Calculus 1 course appears to be aneffective way to

In the present study, weinterview eight members of the faculty and student activity systems encompassing twoconcurrently-required core courses within an engineering department at a research university andcharacterize participants’ understanding of these systems.

Course web sites give studentsaccess to supplemental learning materials1, an ability to dialog with other students and faculty onforums2, and even tutorial movies ranging from working through homework problems to usingmodeling or computational programs related to the course3. In addition, there has been a flood ofinterest in and funding of engineering education research.

Having a well-designed mentoring program at PennState Harrisburg, students appreciate and understand science, mathematics, and engineeringmore completely, gain skills and confidence, and often achieve improved academic work andperformance. Future work should focus on testing the impact on students of various mentoringactivities provided, such as meetings, participating in off-campus experiences, and also activitieson campus.References[1] Committee on Prospering in the Global Economy
