Thinking via Pictures: Getting Students Started through Graphing Stephen A. Dyer Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506 USAAbstractVisual languages are among the most important to the STEM disciplines, but most students en-tering a STEM curriculum seem to have little ability to think or converse in any visual language.Further, there are few curricula that include a formal course in either basic graphics or the art ofapproximation. One foundational visual language is that of two-dimensional presentation of quan-titative information and mathematical relationships. This paper offers some topics to

to fulfill our educational objectives, my personal opinion is thatour effort should be directed towards cultivating and increasing the ability ofstudents to think. That the ability to think is more important than the simpletransfer of knowledge is obvious: Even if a student learns everything by the timethe B.S. degree is awarded, a short time after graduation that engineeringprofessional (a) will have to obtain new knowledge, probably on their own (b) it is very probable that a few years after graduation, the young engineer will be the head of a group that involves persons from various disciplines; in that capacity simple, dry knowledge of facts will not be at all helpful; the ability to think, however, will be

For example, Georgievaproposed a new method of teaching undergraduate mathematics in which the students areallowed free access to the complete solution manual7.

The transition from student to professionalmust occur quickly – often in as little as four-to-five years. Central to this transformation is thestudent’s ability to translate the theories and principles introduced in the classroom into tangibleskills appropriate to their particular discipline and work effectively with a variety of people frommultiple disciplines.

The Endeavour Program at the University of Houston is one ofthose programs. In the fall of 2018, Endeavour recruited its first cohort of STEM freshmen.Since then, two cohorts have completed the two-year program with the third set to complete theprogram in spring 2023.
