After a two-year planningprocess including a review of the current literature and site visits to many engineering programs,the new multidisciplinary engineering program was implemented. Currently, the newengineering program is in its second year of implementation offering freshman and sophomorelevel courses. The program design is grounded in pedagogies of engagement, curricularflexibility, and a focus on the individual. Student outcomes are based on a developmental modelpatterned somewhat after Alverno College. Outcomes assessment includes oral examinations andthe use of ePortfolios.

In another example of unexpected results, our initialattempts at assessing the efficacy of our supplemental instruction program through statisticalanalyses uncovered the fact that the background variation in student grades in math courses wasvery high. Further analysis uncovered that section-to-section variability was so high that itoverwhelmed the modest gains achieved by our grant-initiated support programs.Obviously, these results forced us to re-think the programs we’ve been developing to achieve ourgoals.

San Francisco BayArea, a large number of students from traditionally underrepresented minority groups enter withhigh levels of interest in engineering. However, their success and completion rates have been lowdue primarily to low levels of preparation for college-level work, especially in math. To addressthis major barrier to student success, Cañada College developed Math Jam as a one-weekintensive math placement test review program. Since its development in 2009, Math Jam hasserved over 2500 students, and the demand continues to grow such that the program is nowoffered in six separate sessions each year – both day and evening sessions during three one-weekperiods immediately preceding the fall, spring, and summer sessions.

The suggested curriculum consists of ten, 1.5 hour labsessions that are usually delivered in an extra-curricular setting and feature both software andworkbook exercises. This curriculum, as well as others based on it have since been adopted byover 40 institutions working with the NSF Engage initiative [7]. Several other programs havealso been developed while more recent efforts to aid in teaching SVS include the usage of gamesand smartphone apps for this purpose.Across all of these settings, spatial skills assessment and training programs have been shown tobe effective in improving student retention, particularly amongst women [8,9], as

Ourplanning also had to anticipate the task of meeting ABET self assessment requirements for twodegree programs. Key elements of our program include using area requirements instead ofspecific course requirements for electives, a two semester senior design project, and a co-opprogram which affords a year of industrial experience before the senior year.
