Theideal approach would be to adapt the map according to the individual cognitive load needs thatare specific to each learner.As noted in Section 1, alleviating these limitations through the design of a proper visualizationtool that enables the viewing of a large quantity of information and personalizes informationvisualization according to the learner’s cognitive load needs will help learners integrate conceptsacross an entire course and even a curriculum, thus providing a more cohesive and flexible bodyof knowledge and will help students move towards a more adaptive expertise.3.

.— ..-. . CONCLUSION The AIMS program and AIMS chemistry course did impact the persistence of students in the School ofEngineering and their success in the first chemistry course. Nevertheless, we hoped that the impact would begreater and longer lasting. Both the declining enthusiasm of the students and a judgment that the modestimprovement in student performance may not be worth the large expenditure of limited human resources led tothe cessation of the program after the Fall 94 Quarter. Mercer University will convert from the quarter system to the semester system in the Fall of 1997, andthe School of Engineering is using the change in academic calendar as an opportunity to implement a modernand integrated engineering curriculum.

. 2 AbstractIn response to the need for a diverse, highly skilled STEM workforce that can workcollaboratively and communicate effectively, colleges of engineering have developed diversity-focused recruitment, retention, and outreach efforts. Many programs have also begun toemphasize technical communication skills. A national organization that integrates these prioritiesis the Engineering Ambassadors Network (EAN), which trains undergraduates to raise awarenessof what engineers do and how they contribute to society. Typical ambassador activities includethe delivery of a presentation and a hands-on activity to middle or high school students.Currently, there are an estimated 634 EAs in the United States
