A schematic diagram illustrating the content of the two-course sequence, as taught inthe 2004-2005 academic tear, is shown in Figure 1. In the fall semester (SEC I), the students aresplit into two different lab sections, each with approximately 60 students. All students work onthe same projects in SEC I.

In California, about a third of the state’s students who intend to pursueengineering and computer science graduates degrees fail to achieve their goal, considerablyhigher than the 22% attrition rate nationally. While the state is home to more top researchuniversities and high tech industries than any other state, it is significantly under-producinggraduates with technical degrees3.In order to increase the number of engineering and computer science graduates, theunderrepresentation of Hispanic students in engineering and computer science graduates needs tobe addressed in California and particularly in Orange County where Hispanics

Entering students usually write like theyspeak in everyday language. Another observation is that students do not read enough and, as aresult, their vocabulary is lacking, especially technical vocabulary. In all, students are not veryknowledgeable about engineering and the skills needed for success when they arrive at theuniversity.Secondary school Principals point to some reasons why these gaps exist, especially in schoolswith high populations of minority students12.

However by using a graphical technique where a folded-and-shifted version of h(k ) canbe moved from left to right, a lot more is learnt about convolution operation. This movementoperation will generate a non-zero output y (n) only when both x(k ) and h(n − k ) have someoverlap. Since the folded-and-shifted version of h(k ) is moved
