. Thegoal is to improve students performance in early STEM courses and increase retention rate. Thecourses feature a calculus sequence that has been redesigned to coincide with the physics courses,and the mathematical concepts are introduced in the concept of physics problems with the goalof examining more abstract mathematical ideas once the concrete notions are formulated. Theprogram identifies students’ needs prior to enrollment using the physics and math scores. Thestudents’ high physics intuition may reflect their higher intuitive understanding of the real-worldphysical problems, while needing support in understanding of abstract mathematical modelingand manipulations skills.

Without many experiences in classes or through co-curricular activities that showhow personal and professional experiences can be integrated, students are likely tocompartmentalize those senses of social responsibility. Those who do have significantopportunities to consider how their personal goals positively impact their work will go throughan evaluative and reflective process, visualized below, to take stock of how they can live theirpersonal social responsibility goals through their profession. Thus, Canney and Bielefeldt argue,the ​professional connectedness​ realm of social responsibility development requires engineers toconsider the opportunity costs and benefits of their decisions.

This approach is reflected in the ACRL’s Framework for InformationLiteracy for Higher Education [4].IL instruction for graduate students takes various forms. It can be integrated into a graduatecourse or delivered as a stand-alone workshop. It can also be offered as a one-shot session or as aseries of sessions. The latter offers the opportunity to establish a relationship with students,compared to the one-shot session, and appears to have a much greater impact on studentretention [9, 10].

Results confirmed thatthe instructions and purpose for the exercises were clear: all students either agreed or stronglyagreed with those statements. Students spent less than 45 minutes on each activity, with themajority (17/19 respondents) spending less than 20 minutes. Open feedback was quite positive.Representative comments include: • “I think the "Creativity!" exercises are a great way to challenge students.

We also created a learning environment where tutors and studentscould talk to each other easily throughout the course.
