A longitudinal study of this program resulted in thedevelopment of an asset-based approach to support students, called PASS - Promoting-At-Promise Student Success [3]. An at-promise student is defined as a student who have historicallybeen underserved by institutions and traditionally viewed through a deficit lens as at-riskstudents [4].As a department, we decided to collectively invest in learning from this approach and use it totransform our approach to student success. The decision was driven by several factors: 1. An increased campus-level focus on retention and graduation rates has resulted in the rapid deployment of new advising and student success platforms that faculty and

This presents a seriouschallenge to engineering education.

Many computer-oriented studentsdiscover an unexpected link between computers and the mathematics of signal theory, and havepursued further study in traditional DSP courses at the senior and graduate level.2. DSP FirstThe idea of using signal processing as the first course in electrical engineering is not new. Somehave proposed teaching analog signal processing prior to circuit theory, so that a systemviewpoint is presented prior to the details of circuit implementation. Our approach has been tostart with digital signal processing, and then move into analog systems. This matches quite wellwith the everyday experiences of most of our students who have expertise with softwarepackages that might contain DSP capabilities
