strategies employed for earlier classes.2. Educators have focused on the re-design of traditional calculus courses. Additional collaborations between math and engineering faculty to align related courses could be impactful.3. A limited number of records included tangible materials that could be used by other educators. A centralized, online database to host shareable materials would widen application of successful innovations.4. Impact of calculus innovations could be better captured through the use of more rigorous assessment, including design/use of validated instruments and comparison to control groups (when possible).AcknowledgementThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.1741611

With more buildingknowledge and floor experience, the student could create structures that wereeasier to build and less prone to error. Ideally, such things would be taught inschool and then put into practice on co-op. The student understands that school’smain intent is learning the “why,” but realizes that it is also important to know the“how.”It is ironic that the more the student has been taught at school and on co-op, themore he realizes how much new knowledge is available. By taking advanced andinteresting engineering courses, like thermodynamics and materials science, thestudent has merely scratched the surface on a whole new world. Now more thanever the student has

In 2004, the coursestransitioned to design for fabrication using a commercial process with hands-on testing ofexemplar devices.

This was resolved by developing a detailed schedule with flexibletimeframes, along with providing asynchronous learning materials to accommodate diverse academic calendars.Furthermore, participants occasionally faced difficulties in bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and theirpractical applications in manufacturing. To address this, we incorporated hands-on projects and real-world casestudies, which facilitated experiential learning and reinforced the practical relevance of the topics. Regular feedbacksessions allowed participants to voice concerns, enabling iterative improvements to the program's structure andcontent.

The uniquemeasurement features of the Analog Discovery kit can be appropriately applied to lower to upper-level courses [14].

One of the primary reasons for this 40% increase in ECE enrollment in only threeyears is a drastic change in the student culture. Prior to 2008, our ECE students had minimalinvolvement in recruiting and retention efforts. Since 2008, a radical change has been made thatresulted in students driving the process.
