isexpected that this activity will help retain freshmen and sophomores in STEM disciplines.Another enhanced student service is the STEM Calculus 1 Student Assistant Support Program. Areason for the high attrition in mathematics courses required of STEM students is the lack ofacademic student support in Calculus 1 classes. Calculus 1 forms the foundation for moreadvanced mathematics courses required by the STEM major and thus plays an important role inthe undergraduate curriculum. At UTPA and STC, there are weaknesses in services for Calculus1 students. Tutoring programs and online materials (available to anyone with an internetconnection) exist on both campuses. However, classroom resources for Calculus 1 classes arevirtually nonexistent. Data prior

The deficiency is that a majority of engineering graduates are taught byengineering faculty with little or no industry experience. Faculty far removed from advances inindustrial practice will miss important opportunities to tailor the curriculum to crucial industrialneeds. This will be to the disadvantage of their students.

engineering programs, it is transformed into an application-heavy curriculum in engineering technology degrees.However, this is not to suggest that there is a clear demarcation between engineering andengineering technology curricula in terms of their theory vs. application focus. Engineeringcurricula include several application-based elements in the form of laboratory courses, courseprojects, and capstones. Similarly, engineering technology curricula include several theory-basedcourses such as calculus and physics. The difference lies in the fact that engineering curriculagenerally tend to be more toward the engineering science side of the application vs. theoryspectrum, and engineering technology curricula tend to me more on the application end

The science requirements for ETare similar to where science content needs to be “appropriate to the discipline.” [16] This issimplified by stating that the mathematics and science requirements for an ET program are lessthan the requirements for an engineering program.

In the ELP,students are engaged in a structured process for solving unstructured problems whileencouraging metacognitive activities, such as planning, monitoring, and evaluating. This helpsstudents acquire the higher order cognition and integration of knowledge domains needed foreffective engineering problem solving. In particular, a key element of the ELP is that it requiresstudents to explain and evaluate their work while they are solving complex engineeringproblems. The underlying premise is that such metacognitive tasks are valuable to studentsbecause they eventually improve their
