, 2008 A First Year Seminar for Surveying Engineering and the Effects on RetentionAbstractA first-year seminar for surveying students in the college of engineering was added to thesurveying engineering curriculum in 1998. The course is used to introduce students to collegeacademics, the scholarly community, and the surveying profession. Class sizes are limited to 20students in order to keep the student-teacher ratio low and provide the students an opportunity tomake friends with 19 other students in their major. Team exercises are used in several elementsof the course. One of the purposes of the course is to build a comfortable academic relationshipbetween the first-semester surveying student and a

For both groups, a major improvement in learning occurred as evidenced by thefinal mean scores.BackgroundThere are various methods students use to solve problems in the classroom. Pitman, Gosper andRich (1999) report that different students use different course related materials (paper vs.computer) in differing ways and to different degrees. Use of varied teaching resources is veryimportant to match individual student learning styles and thus could have important implicationsfor future educational programs and curriculum contents Holman (2000).There are different methods used in teaching accounting.

Academic success in ME 1001 among the studentswho were co-enrolled and those who were not co-enrolled is compared in this study. Thesuccess of the students was tracked using the following rubrics: attendance, course grades, peerevaluations during the design project, and retention for the following semester in the mechanicalengineering program. The students that were co-enrolled had similar attendance and peerevaluation rates in the ME 1001

DIVERSE MINDSAbstract:The use of course management systems have resulted in a growing trend among faculty to provide studentswith course materials to augment lectures. This can include lecture notes, example problems orsupplementary reading. In engineering courses, instructor-provided notes are often handwritten -- even inonline courses. There is an assumption that handwritten notes are preferred by students and have apedagogical benefit over typed notes.Access to course materials for students with disabilities is also improving due to advancements in bothtechnology and awareness. Students with disabilities often receive custom accommodation plans for coursework when the original class format does not adequately support their learning. In courses

Success in Bridge: Improvements in Math PlacementWe first tabulated data to document improvement in math placement resulting from participationin a summer bridge program. The commonly reported measures of success were the number oflevels by which placement increased (e.g., by one or two courses), and advancement to calculus.The results are reported in Table 2. Note that most data in Table 2 is not compared with acontrol group. We conjecture that this is because establishing such control groups is not trivial.Ideally, this requires collecting data from non-bridge students who are academically comparableto bridge students and who retook the placement test during the summer, but this is
