Program focuses on first year students [10,12]. Although it isinteresting that even with no control on academic level there was still a significant increase inconfidence with campus resources.Overall, the program was extremely successful at meeting the desired outcome for students tobecome more knowledgeable about what they need to succeed in their academic and personalsuccess. The data is mixed about whether the program helped them to be more knowledgeableabout themselves. However, all elements of the program: the module on campus resources,Scholar Chats, academic coaching, and the requirement to use campus resources in the modulecan be linked to improvements shown in key areas measured by the survey.References:[1] B.

The information to answer these questions will be gathered fromthe key constituents: undergraduate students, faculty, and the department chair. A combination ofquestionnaires and selected student and faculty interviews will be developed to identify whichparts of the project are working well and which need to be modified.7.2 Summative Evaluation.The overall goal of this project is to improve undergraduate engineering education by means of ajust-in-time, project-driven model. Summative evaluation information relative to this goal will
