in-person lecturescovering fundamental technical concepts with the bulk of practice and application occurringoutside of the classroom. This comes typically in the form of homework and labs (possibly in thepresence of a teaching assistant) with delayed feedback from e-mail, office hour meetings, andoccasional graded assignments. Little time is available in class for modeling and demonstrationof the desired practice skills by the instructor and large class sizes often prohibit significantindividual modeling, assessment or interaction with students.As contemporary technology allows for pervasive access to multimedia content, educators haverecognized the opportunities created for more personalized learning experiences and increasedinteraction

Hispanic, 76% economicallydisadvantaged, and 7% with limited English proficiency. Even with a concerted effort for equalgender participation, females are underrepresented, making up just 30% of participants,corresponding with the ongoing shortage of women in STEM fields. A full summary of CentralTexas enrollment, Cave Creek students, and Beyond Blackboards participants is included inAppendix B. Access to economic opportunities is derived from education and technical skills,yet because Cave Creek parents do not have these backgrounds, students are generally notexposed to engineering. Consequently, Cave Creek students are an ideal target population forinvestigating methods to increase diversity in engineering to improve U.S. competitiveness.Purpose

TheSEECS Faculty Satisfaction Assessment (see Appendix B) uses a subset of questions from theHERI survey. To emphasize the association between the personal statement and the facultymember‟s perspective on the value of the SEECS work to realize the personal value, an emphasisaspect is included in the assessment. Hence, a faculty member is not only asked whether thepersonal statement is important, but also whether the SEECS program is viewed as beingimportant relative to the statement. Essentially, if faculty members highly rate a value statementand if the
