And there are typically 15 students in “Introductionto Control Systems”. The “Introduction to Engineering” lecture was shown to students at thebeginning of the class. Even though the video lecture covered the same slides containing thesame information which was presented in a normal lecture on this subject, the video lecture tookless time to view, allowing time for a Q&A session and comments from students.For the second video lecture, students were given a copy of the video to view at theirconvenience, at a time and place of their own choosing and in a setting of their own choosing

researchexperience(s). These results reveal a highly favorable opinion of the overall student experience.The level of satisfaction was the most positive indicator, with 85% of respondents expressingthat they were very satisfied with this experience. Across all three questions, just one responseindicated a negative opinion of summer research as a learning experience. As shown in Table 5,one respondent selected “Well, it was better than working just for a salary, but I don't think Ilearned a lot.”Table 3.

pre-program to prepare the participants for the summer program. In thefirst year, the RET participants learned more about faculty mentors in the pre-program throughtheir bios, project descriptions, short video introductions, and more. We also hosted a virtualmeet-the-mentors session, where RET participants met with the mentors virtually, learned moreabout their research, and discussed potential project ideas. In the second year, based on the first-year evaluation feedback, we changed the pre-program to information Q&A sessions where theteachers learn about the program requirements, ask questions and share concerns, while theprogram team also learns more about the teachers, their subject areas, and their goals for theprogram.Summer Program

available for four weeks in order togive students adequate time to take the exam, review their material, and remediate any mathknowledge that the students would need to know for the course.Competency-based assessments give students equal opportunities to be successful in their classesas many students have different backgrounds of learning. Flagging “at-risk” students and givingthem the tools they need to learn the course prerequisite material can help build their sense ofbelonging and positive attitude in the classroom. Similar competency and remedial assessmentsfrom other departments and universities have proved to be helpful to their students by loweringthe D/F/Q rates, creating shifts in letter grades, and increasing the rate of students

faculty interactions with math facultyOf the faculty who responded to the survey, two had met with mathematics faculty (Q.3). Bothhad attended the special meeting we held in the spring of 2017 and had participated in theclassroom observation opportunity, and one of them had also participated in one-on-onemeetings with math faculty (Q.4). In both cases, these meetings only changed their perceptionson faculty engagement (Q.5). The interaction that was listed as being the most impactful was themeeting/classroom observation, but the one-on-one visits also ranked high on the list (Q.6). Itdoes seem, though, that building in opportunities for faculty socialization and active exchange ofideas is important.Questions 8: Have you provided feedback or input
