In addition,faculty needs to assess the efficacy of their curriculum in a program, and collecting longitudinalstudent data is difficult. A web application system (mobile compatible) using a multi-agent approach has beendeveloped to allow the students (agents) to take more control over their individualized advising.In this context, the student tool becomes an agent, and the school provides the environment witha desirable behavior for the system. This research will identify the school’s administrators as theacademic control objective and will be referred to as the "Operator". This paper focuses on theagent

At the beginning of the semester,students in the online section of the laboratory class receive a portable shoe-box sized bin ofelectronics components and instrumentation, and use it to perform lab experiments on their ownor with a virtual lab partner. Both online and F2F cohorts use the same materials, and F2Fstudents are able to borrow kits to do experimentation at home if they desire.The development and assessment of the circuits

During the collective argumentation process, the student must articulate the reason for approaching a problem in a particular way, justify the approach using data and information to support the reasoning, and provide the principles that establish the justification. In mathematics and science education, the use of argumentation to assess student knowledgerelies on three core components commonly called the claim, data and warrant (Table 1).Multiple examples

Additionally, when testing and verification is completed, an assessment study will beconducted to identify its impact on student learning. This will be completed by implementing theapparatus into the laboratory curriculum for the next upcoming academic year. A preliminarysurvey will be issued prior to performing experiment.

Once the tool is developed, it will bea great enhancement for the virtual laboratory by automatically gathering feedback from thestudents. This assessment tool will be focused on the evaluation of this application. Thus, once itis integrated with the system, we will be able to answer: 1) How much difference there isbetween the traditional hands-on laboratory and the virtual laboratory, 2) Whether or not thevirtual instrumentation and experimentation have provided

Broader admission review processes will likely identify additional students from underrepresentedgroups who have great potential to be successful in engineering degree programs, but who may have beenexcluded during admission due to lower standardized scores. We anticipate that this will result inrecruiting a more diverse array of students who might not have previously considered or felt they couldsucceed in undergraduate engineering programs. Once admitted, we also intend to assess factors that leadto retention and attrition for these groups, particularly related to their uptake of student success
