These applications were chosen becausestudents are able to hear, in the case of audio processing, or see, in the case of computer vision,the direct results of their efforts.Student groups are required to research topics related to each project and propose a topic forfurther study by submitting an abstract that explains the proposed work.

described.IntroductionAlthough calculus I is a traditional entry point for first-year engineering students, for a variety ofreasons the course generates a high failure rate. Poor performance in this “gateway” course nodoubt leads many students to reexamine their decisions to study engineering. Compounding thescenario are widespread efforts to diversify the student population of engineering with the verystudents who are statistically most likely to graduate high school underprepared for direct entryinto calculus I—minorities, women and first-generation college attendees. Thus, achievingdiversity in engineering is linked to the performance outcomes in mathematics of studentshistorically underrepresented in engineering, including the underrepresented minority (URM

These included costs of over $300 for individual textbooks [2] and over$1200 a year [3], and a rate of increase of three times the overall rate of inflation, since 1970 [4].The author also researched the associated negative consequences. These included directconsequences like avoidance of textbook purchases [5], avoidance of necessary courses withhigh textbook costs [6], and poor course performance [7], and indirect consequences, like delaysin student graduation, increases in student attrition, and avoidance of “high-cost” majors (likeengineering and technology) [6].

Again, since all of these students came to a non-biomedical engineer-ing program, we conjecture that all of them got interested in this field largely in-part because ofthis one exercise. Based on this preliminary analysis, we believe that this simple experiment hada significant impact on students, and opened a field of study that they previously did not consid-er, or perhaps were not even aware of. These results are consistent with the results of the largerscale attitudes and interests survey administered to all freshmen.Muscles - Movement and Control of MovementBirth defects, illnesses, and injuries can lead to the loss of muscle or muscular

Cashin11 has monitored thesubstantial research compiled on SET ratings since 1971 and has noted the following variables ofconcern when weighing an instructor’s SET ratings: Student motivation or reason for taking the course. (Where students have prior interest in the subject matter, SET ratings tend to be higher.) Level of the course.
