one of the first faculty members recruited to develop a new engineering program with a $100 million donation. Dr. Jawa is founder and director of Robotics Education through Active Learning (REAL), a K-12 outreach robotics program that educates thousands each year and culminates in the Annual Robot Rally, the nation’s largest robotics event. He also co-founded the Femineers (Female Engineers), which the White House recognized for its empowerment of young women to become engineers. Since founding an online education company in 1998, Dr. Jawa has developed hundreds of interactive, engrossing learning modules, online tutorials, and CSU course redesigns focusing on bottleneck courses. He has brought many new

workshops included laser cutting, 3D Printing, electronics, Arduino, and CAD drawing. The laser cutting, 3D printing and electronic workshops were scheduled at the same time each day for 2 hours. Students were assigned to smaller groups which rotated through each of the workshops during the first week of summer bridge. Students not only learned the skills in the workshop, but also participated in hands on activities to practice these skills. The ITLL technical staff taught the Arduino workshop in two 2-hour sessions, one two hour session for two days. The Computer-Aided Design (CAD) workshop was designed as independent learning where students worked on drawings and designs as homework

student on the topics that they are most ready to learn. As a student works through a course, ALEKS periodically reassesses the student to ensure that topics learned are also retained. ALEKS courses are complete in their topic coverage and ALEKS avoids multiple-choice questions. One goal is for a student who shows a high level of mastery of an ALEKS course will be successful in the actual course he/she is taking. ALEKS also provides the advantages of one-on-one instruction, 24/7, from virtually any Web-based computer.  ALEKS provides the benefit of allowing our instructors to track the progress of each students. In addition to monitoring student progress during the sessions, because the tool is web-based, the students can complete tasks at home
