Topic studied: Advanced Engineering Mathematics. Student Population: A junior level course with 18 students participating in the study. Background: The students have had two semesters of college level calculus. The grading was administered using a rubric similar to Washington State University’sCritical Thinking Rubric. Appendix B shows the rubric utilized. A sample of grading scheme is shown in Appendix C. The data obtained was tabulatedusing a Likert

These questionnairesqueried demographic information as well as information regarding students’ choice and feelingstowards the experiences they have had within an engineering program. Further, the questionnairesallowed for the assessment of anticipated hurdles upon entering the four-year university system.Responses were compared between existing Pathway scholars attending LSU (Appendix A) andthose students anticipating transfer into the college (Appendix B).

developmental math classesalready provide a tutorial session in addition to the lectures. However, it is only a one-hour openlab. Students go to the lab at their convenient time to get help from tutors. The tutorial lab showson the course schedule with one credit hour, but it is not recorded on the transcript for any credit.As a result, some students opt not to go to the lab. Compared to regular developmental mathclasses, the SBP math classes provide students with these advantages: a) attending the recitationsession regularly as a cohort; b) getting immediate feedback on their work and proper guidancefrom the instructor who can readjust his/her teaching plans according to students’ mastery andprogress; c) getting tutoring assistance from experienced

There are a host of accessories available to be used with the Uno and thereare more powerful Arduino boards (like the Zero) that utilize a 32 microcontroller, however it isroughly twice as expensive as the Uno. A search of Amazon.com yields a selection of over onethousand Arduino products with various “starter kits” and accessories.

The majority of respondents indicated either weak or considerable levels of demonstration by recent graduates in the following skills/competencies: a) Weak levels of demonstration: 1. Ability to offer constructive feedback to others; 2. Ability to design and manage projects; 3. Ability to be self-critical; and 4. Ability to motivate people and have common goals. b) Considerable levels of demonstration
