models, and solve for circuitrelated quantities in various component configurations. For practical applications, otherelectronic devices such as light emitting diodes and operational amplifiers may be introduced,without a detailed analysis of what happens inside the “black box.” A traditional treatmentbegins with circuits having direct current (DC) sources, moves to first and second order timedependent responses of R, L, and/or C combinations, and ends with alternating current (AC)circuits. However, the nature and behavior of circuits in such a first course is usually assumed toinvolve voltages that have a continuous range of possibilities; that is, it has usually been

infrastructure. In August 2005, the Parliament of India, in response to theperceived failure of economic growth to generate employment for the rural poor, passed the Ru-ral Employment Guarantee Bill into law, guaranteeing 100 days of minimum wage employmentto every rural household in all the districts of India. The Parliament of India also refused to ac-cept Union Government's argument that it had taken adequate measures to reduce incidence ofpoverty in India. The question of whether economic reforms have reduced poverty has beenstrongly debated. Recent statistics of 2010 point out that the number of high income householdshas exceeded lower income households.In recent years, there has been a greater acknowledgement of the value of higher education
in this course may not be as effective as possible.We are beginning a longitudinal study using historical performance data from courses across thecurriculum in order to generate a more definitive description of the situation faced by students ina CTSS course. This data was collected at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology forapproximately 800 ECE students in multiple required ECE courses over a period of 10 yearsfrom the 2000–2001 to the 2009–2010 academic year. This data is analyzed by looking at theperformance of students in the CTSS course relative to other required courses and relative to itspre-requisite courses. The results are presented with respect to multiple variables in order tobetter understand the influence of different factors

American Chemical Society (ACS) standard exam was used at theend of the semester as part of the final. Since the exam was administered online during the COVID-19 pandemic, the items for the final exam were chosen from the ACS exam database. The studentshad 60 minutes to answer 40 multiple choice questions online through the Learning ManagementSystems. They were not allowed to use any other resources other than a calculator and an onlinecover page provided by ACS. They signed an Honor Pledge at the beginning of the exam.Table 1.

As a land grant university, we do not have separate entrance standards to the CoE.The qualifications to enter math courses are set by the Department of Mathematical Sciences(MASC), and the current standards were updated in 2010. The ways in which students mayqualify to take Calculus I are through ACT or SAT Math subscores, by completing the optionalmath placement exam (devised by MASC), completion of prerequisite course (Precalculus,Trigonometry, or Engineering Applications of Mathematics) taken at our university or bytransfer, or by earning credit through AP
