." "Projects and in-class problems were the most beneficial part of the class. Overall, very complex class, it is not an easy A or B. However, professor makes it easier that it is." "Projects are time consuming but allowed me to apply equations and knowledge from class. Real world connections are made between the course material and everyday life, which helps me understand why the concepts we learn are important and useful. This allows me to feel confident while doing problems and to think through them rather than looking at a solution manual." "Projects were helpful as they were more interesting than book problems. Projects also prevented the use of answer keys when stuck and forced me to think about it
American (7.7%), Hispanic (15.2%), Asian (17.6%), Female (20.7%), LSES (14.6%). Supplemental Instruction can now be counted as one of the many programs that successfullydecreases the academic performance gap between ethnic minority students and Caucasians. Thisgap was decreased to within 3% of course averages for all groups excluding African Americans.One of the most surprising things about these findings is that the SI program was not designed togive additional benefit to minority, female, or low-socioeconomic students. Through activelearning and inclusion, the SI program at LSU has shown to have a substantial impact on allpopulations of students7 References[1] E. Brothers, B.

the woven poly bag. a. Design the poly bag smaller than the Mylar bag in order to decrease the possibility of over expansion of the inner Mylar bag which has a lower strength then the poly bag. This will remove the need to glue the Mylar bag to the poly bag. b. Heat seal the Mylar bag while also folding the opening 5 times to create a tighter seal. The folding pushes the Mylar material together and creates a seal that can be mechanically closed for future reopening. 5. Attach the 2” inlet, outgas/over fill, and garden hose attachment to a pvc plates that will be glued to the inside of the bag and put through holes that exposes it to the outside. The plate will cover a larger glued surface area

Although AE and CMT students are required to take two calculus, two physics andtwo engineering science courses, ARCH students are only required to take one of each.In order to compare the ALEKS and ACT scores with the student course grades, the grades wereconverted from the letter grade to a corresponding numerical value. For an “A” the value is 9,“B” is 8, “C” is 7, “D” is 6 and “F” is 5. There are minimum ALEKS placement scores for Mathcourses. For Calculus I for Technology, the minimum score is a 65 and for Calculus I, theminimum is 75. Both Calculus II courses
of ‘features’ has been identified as an important aspect of product success.Ulwick proposes that new product success is most often correlated with a “need first” approachthat first explores stakeholder needs and desired features rather than an “idea first” or creativitydriven approach (Ulwick, 2011). Crismond and Adams compare the traits of student designerscompared to more experienced designers and conclude that students a. don’t collect enough orthe right information before they start designing and b. make design decisions without properlyconsidering all options (Crismond and Adams, 2012). In addition, when designing new productsit is important to include features to retain current customers as well as attract new customers(Hamilton et al

It is possible that theseengineering identity interventions could be included in other common engineering courses tohelp improve retention and persistence of engineering students.

Further research indicates that women inengineering programs value social context in their program of study. To this end, the designproject discussed in this paper integrates humanitarian application experiences using the NAEGrand Challenges as well as campus-specific projects.It is hypothesized that implementation of this module will a) increase students’ perspective ofengineering as a socially meaningful career option and, b) show higher retention and successfulcompletion by female and underrepresented
