To facilitate such an environment, the ECE department has, for the past several years,engaged in the revision of the curriculum for vertical (across each year) integration of the learningexperience in each course and the creation of a modular mini-Electric-Vehicle (mini-EV)laboratory platform to support such activities. This paper will outline the functionality of themodules designed for the centralized platform, the proposed usage of the mini-EV for course andpedagogical revisions to achieve the objectives of (a) improving the linking and retention ofcontent across courses and (b) emphasizing and strengthening the teaching and learningexperiences of system skills integration skills.I IntroductionThe ECE

Further, this paper will compare student groups between Fall2018 and Fall 2019, broken down by Calculus ready, Pre-Calculus students in non-specializedsections as a control group, and Pre-Calculus students in these specialized sections. This paper willshow that this separation favorably affects the student success rates, for both the Pre-Calculusstudents as well as the Calculus I or above students. INTRODUCTIONOver four years ago, the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) created a new course that utilizesa highly active and collaborative environment, calling it Engineering Problem Solving (ENGR1250).

Figure 3: Grade distribution percentages for pre-OER and post-OER groupsBefore beginning statistical comparisons, a few observations regarding the composition of thepre-OER and post-OER student groups needs to be made. First, all the students in the studywere taught by the same instructor using the same instructional methods (except for the OERinitiated changes in the post-OER group) and the same grading methods. Final course gradeswere assigned based on guaranteed grade thresholds (total score > 90% guarantees an A grade,total score > 80% guarantees a B grade, etc.) and natural breaks in student scores; no curvingwas

Duringthese sessions, students could connect by voice (through computer microphones or by calling in)or through the chat feature.Student Performance and FeedbackAlmost all students excelled in the class, with the lowest overall grade awarded at a B-. Thisdid not indicate they found it too easy. Eighty-one percent of the students self-reported workingover 10 hours per week for the class (10+ hours was the highest option) and over half of themmentioned either a

In the timeleading up to the start of the co-design year, faculty felt that it was necessary to develop anextended onboarding experience to introduce students to the year ahead. This course experiencewas co-taught, with two to three faculty from different disciplines and backgrounds workingtogether with a group of around ten co-designers and had the following learning objectives.Students should: A. Uncover and articulate their motivation to be part of the co-design year. B. Develop and articulate their expectations for themselves and for each other, as well as faculty. C. Develop skills to provide effective feedback (e.g., active listening, etc.). D. Be able to identify strengths and

analysis indicates that this trend has been consistent for atleast the last three decades [24]. b. Testing Bias. Maeda & Yoon added that some of this research was influenced by other factors beyondspatial skills such as testing procedure and measurement bias against females such as providingtest time limitations [17]. In an earlier study, they recognized that testing affected the magnitudeof the gender difference gap. They noted that the gender difference increases in favor of malestudents if there was time pressure due to the testing instrument as compared to no time. Thus,the testing results would include a measurement error due to procedural bias [17]. The procedural impact on gender differences is of
