Students were assigned many out-of-class assignments over the durationof the semester as a part of the course activities. They were assigned with a good mix ofrequired and optional (extra) assignments. The author included a wide variety of assignmentssuch as videos, audios, news articles, textbook reading, search-it-yourself assignments oncertain topics, and certain USEPA/USGS webpages.

As a reference forall phases of planning, controlling and designing of manufacturing industries, by 1955, over65,000 engineering professionals purchased the book. Reflecting strong interest in practical,standard application of engineering principles, the book had subsequent editions published in1959 and 1976. These editions were expanded to reflect the latest in the manufacturing industryseeing the continuing advances and significant diversification of informational needs of themodern manufacturing engineering.

TexPREP students are required to have high math scores to enter the program and havealready expressed interest in engineering by participating in at least three years of a seven-weekengineering summer program. As part of the proposed plan, students who had not taken CollegeAlgebra or English I were required to take those courses in this activity.

According to Mangold, Bean, Adams, Schwab and Lynch1 “low graduation rates costuniversities scarce resources.” For these reasons and more, colleges and universities have turnedtheir attention to finding ways to retain the students that do enroll.A widely-implemented tactic used to improve retention is the learning community or first-yearseminar course.

It is far more difficult to blend a course where studentsare geographically spread. Structured periods of time that include weekends or week-long classesseem to work well in these situations.
