advising objective is to assist each student in making a smoothtransition from high school to college, to aid these students in identifying their major, and tofacilitate strong retention. The mentoring program within the curriculum aspires to activelyinvolve students in every aspect of the undergraduate experience, including advising,personal decision-making, academic achievement and integrity. [4,5,6,7,8] To accomplishthis, all freshman engineering students are required to enroll in the advising course,ENGR0081, which explains the university policies and procedures. In the past, this courseinvolved more passive learning as students attended lectures on college-related matters andvarious engineering departments.By incorporating writing into the

classroomsetting.InstructorsThree different instructors taught the six sections of statics that participated in this study. Toreduce the possibility of an instructor-related bias, a guest lecturer was used. Furthermore, thethree instructors each completed a widely-used Teaching Goals Inventory (TGI) to determine ifthere were significant differences between their approaches to teaching statics. Cluster scores forthe TGI were compared using the non-parametric, bivariate correlation using Spearman’s rhothat revealed significant correlations between all pairs of instructors: Instructors A and B(ρ=.975, p, accessed Feb. 2016.19.

class, IMSE 680 offered at Kansas State University, is a core course in theMasters of Engineering Management and an introductory course to the Masters of Science inOperations Research. The class is offered every semester and has about 25 students enrollingover the course of a year. The class began in 2005. The author taught the class in a lecture format without studentsand the videos were recorded and uploaded online. In 2014, with the help of a small grant fromKansas State University’s distance program, the author changed this class to a lecture basedtutoring format. Since the class is only offered to distance students, the grant paid to have sixstudents attend the class. These students were sophomore and junior industrial
