undesiredside effects of undergraduate EE/EET curricula.IntroductionA critical examination of undergraduate Electrical Engineering and ElectricalEngineering Technology programs exposes the following:• The discipline is artificially partitioned into topics (e.g., Circuit Analysis, Power and Machinery, Computer Architecture, Digital Signal Processing, etc.) which appear to the student to be somewhat unrelated. This is a result of the traditional packaging of study into a set of courses. The effect is that the students often do not make connections between courses and therefore fail to see a single cohesive discipline.• Students often master and retain problem-solving procedures at the expense of their understanding of the underlying

These benefits are measured by the amount oftransparency students perceive in the course, their self-ratings of academic confidence, sense ofbelonging, and improved mastery of skills that employers value, and direct assessment of thestudents’ work.The most conclusive experimental evidence to date on the benefits of transparent assignmentscomes from a large-scale pilot study of seven minority-serving institutions, including 1,180students, 35 faculty members, and 61 courses, of which most were introductory-level courses and12 were intermediate-level [2].

GPAs for science and math versus engineering majors.IntroductionAdequate high school preparation in science and math is integral for both high performance inSTEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) classes in college (e.g. [3,4]) and STEMmajor retention (e.g. [5,6]). Students from less academically challenging high schools areparticularly vulnerable to lower college performance and retention, because STEM collegecourses, which require critical thinking and problem solving, are very different from science andmath classes at weaker high schools [7]. Underprepared students are also more likely to be taughtscience and math by teachers underqualified in STEM and are less likely to have access tochallenging math and science courses in high
