used.Class sessions and learning to sketchThe course goal was for the student to learn to communicate using standard conventions ofengineering graphics for 3D mechanical parts. This ability would enable the student tocommunicate ideas in subsequent design classes with peers on teams as well as contribute insome work settings. Learning to follow engineering graphic conventions was the base leveloutcome. Many of these conventions can be enacted algorithmically, much as a CAD systemcan automatically generate orthographic projections given geometric information about a part.So, at a deeper level the goal was to learn to generate mental imagery of a part and understandinformation from that level. Correspondingly, the underlying assumption was that

Underrepresented Minority StudentsAbstractBoise State University (BSU) implemented an across-the-board reform of calculus instructionduring the 2014 calendar year. The details of the reform, described elsewhere (Bullock, 2015),(Bullock 2016), involve both pedagogical and curricular reform. Gains from the project haveincluded a jump in Calculus I pass rate, greater student engagement, greater instructorsatisfaction, a shift toward active learning pedagogies, and the emergence of a strongcollaborative teaching community. This paper examines the effects of the reform on studentretention. Since the curricular reform involved pruning some content and altering courseoutcomes, which could conceivably have negative downstream impacts, we report on studentsuccess

The project was further informed by the positive learning andretention outcomes reported following curricular innovations to integrate math, science, andengineering content in undergraduate engineering programs at other institutions (Carr, 2003;Froyd and Ohland, 2005; Olds and Miller, 2004). The expected benefits for first-yearengineering students of the Engineering Math Workshops innovation include: a more thoroughunderstanding of the mathematical concepts in the core course; an enhanced ability

most students, this change to a researchinstitution was positive, but there was one student who regretted coming to a research institutionwhere he felt the emphasis was on graduate research rather than undergraduate education.Although research institutions offer opportunities to engage in undergraduate research, surveydata indicates that transfer students are less likely to be engaged in these opportunities. Only14.8% of transfer students report involvement in a faculty research project, whereas 35.1% ofnon-transfer students report engaging in research. This difference is possibly due to their shorttenure at the university and the challenges of beginning as a research assistant.Transferring to a research institution also changed the instructor
