From this preliminary data, the percent of studentssurveyed who changed majors out of STEM was only 5% which we consider a low number.Findings from the External Evaluator validated the data and findings to emerge from the internalassessment processes and procedures. The External Evaluator conducted on-site interviews offaculty participants and the project team annually.

Another aspect of the tool well utilized is the capability toenable modifications that can be made so as to display the data in a desired manner. In this paper an attempt is made to demonstrate the many features of the student editionof LabVIEW instrumentation tool that resulted in successful results. The extent of coverage onthe details of both NIDAQ hardware and the LabVIEW software pertain to the goals of thisproject.

One, the students have full control of posting and updating their laboratorydata. Two, all modifications to the data are automatically tracked; therefore, a mechanism is inplace to identify who has modified the data. Third, the security features, while simple toimplement, appear to be adequate. The database will be fully evaluated over the Fall 1999 andSpring 2000 semesters.IntroductionWeb-based databases have been extensively used on many commercial Internet sites for storageand query purposes.

Mathematics Course.AbstractTraditional percentage-based grading in lecture-based courses often fails to provide meaningful in-sights into a student’s true understanding of the course material. Instead, it encourages students tofocus on earning partial credit rather than mastering concepts and more importantly, retaining keyinformation for future courses and professional applications. In this work, we assess the effective-ness of an alternative grading scheme in an advanced undergraduate mathematics course for Elec-trical and Computer Engineering (ECE) applications, aimed at improving student understanding ofcore concepts. These concepts are crucial for success in follow-on ECE courses, where instructorsfrequently report that students, despite having

The engineering developmentof complex robotics and automation systems require software, electrical, and mechanical systemsto interoperate collectively. To achieve a successful design, simulation becomes a vital phasewithin these domains to ensure each element operates as intended and that all elements integratecorrectly at a system level. However, during senior projects, students often minimize thesimulation effort to complete their senior projects within schedule. Instead, if
