Recruiting students to tutor physics is achallenge particularly at a two-year institution for a number of reasons including low studentconfidence in their ability to tutor and highly qualified students transferring to four yearinstitutions shortly after they complete their physics curriculum.

However, misconceptions could lead to impairments in students’ ability tounderstand and learn new material [2].Two main forces are driving students’ transfer out of engineering: students’ lack of interest orloss of interest in engineering, and students’ difficulty in their math courses [4-7]. Helpingstudents succeed in their math courses is essential to improving the retention of students inengineering. This paper summarizes the results of a study aimed at improving students’ mathand engineering reasoning skills. In this portion of the study, the investigators evaluatedstudents’ misconceptions and issues related to solving math and engineering

A better understanding of student emotions may help educators designcurriculum and pedagogy to mitigate the effects of negative emotions, and to promote positiveemotions. This improved curriculum and pedagogy may eventually help students maximize theirlearning and performance in programming courses.2. Research QuestionsThe overarching objective of this study is to understand the emotions experienced by first-yearengineering students as they work on programming problems.

Thisincludes time and task management, assistance with planning an academic roadmap as well asinformation on co-curricular and extra-curricular activities that could develop one’s portfolio as achemical engineer, such as research, internships, co-ops, study abroad and (chemical)engineering clubs. Finally, the curriculum does not typically provide early information on thesteps necessary to prepare for one’s career. Failure to understand the answers to such questionscan result in students dropping the major, struggling academically, failing to make a connectionwith peers and resources, and facing challenges when applying for jobs due to inadequate careerpreparation.To address this gap in the curriculum

Understanding technical literature is challenging even for the very engineerswho are versed in the vocabulary and procedures of their discipline. Hence, training non-engineer students to use this literature is a substantial challenge. Over the course of several years,the ACRL framework for information literacy in higher education has been integrated into theengineering curriculum.
