in order to complete a B.S. degree within 4 years. Math for all engineering majorsrequires three semesters of calculus plus differential equations with linear algebra. These mathcourses serve as pre-requisites for many other courses in the curriculum. Students are notautomatically eligible to enroll in Calculus I. Historical data indicated a high rate of studentsfailing Calculus I, earning a grade too low to proceed to Calculus II and/or withdrawing from thecourse due to risk of failure (so-called DFW). Therefore, the institution instituted a process toplace students into a math course at the appropriate level.

PBL encourages students to challenge their skills andknowledge and develops lifelong learning skills that are not experienced with traditional teacher-centered approaches.

Companies are using skilled engineering teams dispersed around the world to develop products in a collaborative manner, rapidly migrating from local cross-functional collaboration to a mode of global collaboration [3]. Huntley’s review of literature [3] presents the arguments and the strong agreementamong scholars that most of the programs in the U.S. are not adequately preparing the futureengineer to succeed in the 21st century workplace described in the previous quote. To address the previous concern, two interconnected efforts appear in the literature. Oneis to define the profile of the global engineer; the second, elaborate a set of skills andcompetencies the global engineer needs to meet the demands of the 21st century

Of the six individual projects described: two are experimental; onerequires reverse engineering; one is hands-on; and two are related to design evaluationand the design process. Example results are given for two of the team projects and twoof the individual projects.

most educatorswould admit that planning and time management are often not an explicitly addressed element ofthe Computer Science and Engineering curriculum. Rather than teach students how to managetime, most instructors do the work themselves, incorporate the results into the time frames anddeadlines documented in the course syllabus, and assume that students will allocate their timeaccordingly. In reality, many students, especially those with weaker performance, do not knowhow to do this, or do not realize the consequences of not taking deadlines seriously. We showthat a brief periodically administered self-assessment survey that requires students to state howmuch time they have allocated on class tasks helps students better manage their time

Thisleaves them at a disadvantage both in terms of success in mastering the curriculum and level ofcompetitiveness for internships [1, 2]. As these students move through a typical engineeringcurriculum, a focus on abstract theory and mathematical concepts over physical applications andmeasurable observations will fail to give them the necessary hands-on experience, reducing thechances that the information will be retained over the long term [3]. Students who have specificlearning styles that favor physical experimentation and real-world experience are also left at

During this time, physics can become the enemy ofacademic growth, especially when it is seen as too difficult to understand and when students feelit is a necessary evil to endure for academic credit. This feeling is most prevalent among studentswho had an unqualified or un-engaging teacher or went to a school that lacked appropriateexperimental facilities. There is also a big discussion among educators that the inadequacies inmathematic skills of freshmen students suppress the quality of physics education. Since 1990, the“physics first” movement [2] is working extremely hard to rebuild a strong physics curriculum atpublic high schools.Our Institution is offering career focused education through seventeen bachelor

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the lack oflive face-to-face interaction among students and staff could be a major motivational factor thatchanges effectiveness of the online course.6.
