The main goal of the FYSE program is to strengthen engineering-related mathematicsskills, with particular focus on pre-calculus and the application of engineering problem solving.Each day during the week, the students participate in several classroom and laboratory hours ofmath-intensive curriculum aligned with practicing and strengthening engineering problem-solving skills (see Appendix A for sample syllabus from 2017). From 2012, the coursework has 5been taught by three university faculty members and instructors and assisted by a graduateassistant and undergraduate teaching assistants. In

We encounter this same challenge when lecturing.Our students have their eyes and attention fixed on us. They expect to be both informed and, in away, entertained. Also, just as in the case of the audiences for other performers, while studentswill scrutinize our performance in detail and criticize our failures, most of them are hoping thatwe will do our job well and provide them with a positive performance.Based on the many parallels between teaching and performing in the more traditional venues, wetheorize that there may be value in identifying what other performers do to

Everyterm the course is taught, each professor teaching the course is asked to assess to whatdegree the outcome is treated in the course. A rating of “high,” “medium” or “low”indicates that the outcome is assessed for all students at that level; “some” indicates thatsome students (but not necessarily all) are assessed for that outcome; “none” indicatesthat the outcome was indicated for the course but not assessed or addressed in theparticular offering of the course.As an example, consider the Computer Engineering program curriculum.

One view is that English should bephased in gradually, thus allowing for Arabic to be used simultaneously with English. Thecounter view, held by most, is that English proficiency should be acquired and exhibited at thestart.While English is used for engineering subjects by all eight colleges to varying degrees, Arabic isused almost
