To assess theeffectiveness of the changes to the course, we examined students’ grades in other coursesrequired for majoring in engineering.Calculus IFigure 4 and Table 1 compare the grades for students either co-enrolled or enrolled in Calculus Iafter completing either the Project-Based or Math-Focused versions of the First-YearEngineering course in the fall of 2013.

Allclasses that are counted only for masters credit must have a 7000 number. 6000 classes arecognate courses, offered with a 6000 number for graduate credit and a 4000 number forundergraduate credit.Only 6000 and higher classes are acceptable for graduate credit. At least 70% of the creditapplied to a masters degree must be at the 7000 level or higher. Effectively, that limits a studentto three 6000 level classes.No more than seven hours of graduate classes with a grade of C are acceptable for a masters,provided the overall grade point average is a B or higher.VIII.

Oncethe muscles are compromised, the creature is challenging to control. As an example, the syringes had to bereset frequently on leaking muscles because the air volume in the system would slowly decrease.Furthermore, actuating the syringes rapidly can be fairly exhausting for the operator after a while due to theamount of friction caused by this. The silicone tubing also can cause issues, specifically withmaneuverability, because the weight and elastic force caused by the tubes can affect the movement of thecreature.(b) Prototype ActuationBefore production of the McKibben creature, each team must first

To clearlydelineate the "course" and "instructor" criteria, as well as to help focus students’ responses through the use ofsubsidiary questions, were additional factors motivating the design. Last, but certainly not least, was themotivation to clearly show how each calculation was performed, and to illustrate — in a graphical fashion —how a given course "stacked up" against other courses in its comparison group (and to clearly define the consti-tuents of each comparison group).
