enabled the solutions of differential equations but also raisedmany perplexing and wonderful problems. Over the next century, the finest mathematiciansexplored these problems. Dirichlet, Cauchy, Cantor, Riemann, Weierstrass and others, in theirstudy of continuity and convergence of series, invented ingenious, counterintuitivecounterexamples and produced analytical techniques which culminated in Lebesgue’smagnificent theory of integration about 1906.During the 1700’s, developments in mathematical theory were dominated by Leonhard Euler.Euler had more mathematical insight, made more mathematical discoveries and had moremathematical fun than anyone else either before or since except maybe Erdos. However, theviews of Euler on the nature of

Third, the examemphasizes the importance of the Level-3 competencies to our students and faculty. Students arekeenly aware that retention of knowledge and skills in the core areas is a requirement forgraduation in addition to simply completing required course work. Faculty awareness of theneed to help students learn fundamental concepts is also heightened.Table 2 shows the 18 Level-3 competencies assessed by the exam.

The electronic survey covered Supplemental Instruction and Peer-LedTeam Learning for General Chemistry I, Pre-Calculus and Calculus I. Enrollment data (Table I)indicate that about 2/3 of Fall quarter freshmen should be enrolled in either Pre-Calculus orCalculus I, and at most 1/20 should be without a Fall math class. On the survey, 1/22respondents stated that (s)he did not take math in Fall, which is consistent with enrollment data.An additional 3/22 students did not identify a math instructor; two of those answered noquestions beyond those about the EFLC, suggesting that they simply stopped participating in thesurvey.

It is instrumented with an electronic strain-gage based balance for measurementsof normal force, axial force, pitching moment, and pressure distribution as a function of air speedand angle of attack. Both manual as well as electronic pressure sensing is available on thisfacility. An electronic pressure scanning unit containing 32 individual electronic pressuresensors is also used in conjunction with this facility.

should ask the studentsto discuss it with the person(s) in the immediate vicinity and try to determine “the truth”through discussion. They’ll stare blankly at first but once the instructor says “No, I’mserious - discuss it with each other,” they’ll get the message. One might suppose that theresult of such a request would be some desultory and quiet discussions which would quicklydie down. How wrong such a presumption would be. Every time I’ve initiated such a processthe noise level ratchets up at an amazing rate. Students truly get into it - arguing forciblyfor one view or another. The energy level generated is simply astounding.After a couple of minutes the instructor should call time and again ask for a show of hands.Depending on the point

In the midst of hardship, Tesla mustered the energy to file in March 1886 a patentapplication for a thermo-magnetic motor--a novel device powered by heating and coolingmagnets.23 Discussions about his invention with the foreman at his ditch-digging job led to anintroduction to Charles F. Peck. Intrigued by the thermo-magnetic motor concept, Peckoffered to underwrite Tesla’s research. Because Peck was no technical expert, he invitedAlfred S. Brown, a superintendent at Western Union, to join him in supporting Tesla. Topermit Tesla to concentrate on inventing, Peck and Brown organized the Tesla ElectricCompany, rented a laboratory for him in Manhattan's financial district, and brought Szigetifrom Europe to assist him.

time.ReflectionsThe problem of retention of engineering students has been the focus of discussion since the1980’s. However, it was not until the landmark study of Seymour and Hewitt that many of usdeveloped any understanding why students were leaving. Unfortunately, too few faculty areaware of this report or have the time to devote to reading it. Sitting in on most departmentmeetings will reinforce that the apparent mismatch between student and faculty perceptions oncourse difficulty and course instruction, which was reported in Carter and Brickhouse’s [5] studyin 1986, can still be found today. As a result, this paper attempts to provide an overview of thosefactors negatively effecting student retention. In addition, a review of a number of curricular
