the ERC.3. The COE hired 10 Peer Tutors to provide free tutoring in the ERC for engineering-related and university core courses.4. The COE elicited cooperation from the English and Speech Communication Departments to have one ESD section of first-semester Speech Communication and two ESD sections of first-semester English courses taught in the ERC.5. The COE revised the math curriculum to provide Engineering Learning Skills (ENGR 111 A/B) courses in the ERC to prepare freshman engineering students for Calculus.A goal for this study was to identify effective and sustainable components of the ERCcontributing not only to retention of freshman engineering students but also to their futuregraduation. The results of this study may help

The FiRs are able to adjust classroom activities to better suit the learning styles oftoday’s students.Quantitative Academic SuccessesAcademic success of ERC students was measured by (a) first-time, full-time freshman (FTFTF)retention from the fall 2007 semester to the fall 2008 semester, (b) current semester grade pointaverage (GPA), (c) performance in one of three first and second-year mathematics courses(MATH.: Precalculus, Calculus I, and Calculus II), (d) performance in one of four first andsecond-year science courses (SCI.

majorchanges from late July to early August. Even so, a few minor changes were made between fall2011 and spring 2012: the multimedia case studies topics and number changed. In fall of 2011,three case studies were used (Chick fil A, Della, and STS 51-L), while in spring, two case studieswere used (Mauritius and Chick fil A). The reasons given by course designers for making thischange in number and type of case study were a) reduced time in the spring schedule to include Page 23.1295.7all three case studies, and b) desire to try out the Mauritius case study, which would supportcourse objectives.In addition, to increase consistency across the RU and the TU
