While the NSF S-STEM grant specifically focuseson the impact of LIAT students, this population encompasses a fully representative population,one that we aim to carry over to the entire College of Engineering, something that has been anarea of concern and growth for STEM majors/colleges everywhere. Within the two cohorts,underrepresented minority students account for 38% of the total student population, the femalepopulation is 44% of total population, and roughly 38% of students in the program are identifiedas having high financial need through their Pell eligibility.The GEARSET program was designed as a defined pathway to Engineering for students who didnot fulfill the standard admissions criteria for the college of

.ConclusionsAn alternative oral communication exercise has been developed to simulate a common profes-sional setting for both entry-level and experienced engineers. Student response to the exercisehas been overwhelmingly positive. The time commitment for both students and faculty is notexcessive. In addition to oral communication skill development, students gain exposure to ad-ditional material not covered in lecture. Students are provided with the research summaries touse as study guides for exams. Furthermore, this information is presented by the students to thestudents.

material presented in class and on the readings in thetextbooks. Each examination includes at least one essay question. Student performance on theobjective portion the of exams is typically fairly uniform over the range of about 45% to 95%.Essay performance is usually excellent with the exception of a typical 15% to 20% who don’trespond to the question. This results in student percentage grades that range from about 50 to thelow 90’s. Students rarely dispute the assigned letter grades.ASSESSMENTThe course has been assessed from the perspective of student acquisition of knowledge and fromthe perspective of student satisfaction with the course and teacher. Student performance isusually high if the assessment item comes from at least two of three

Currently, it is up to the user to format the results for display. 287Modes of OperationThe MATLAB® program essentially performs only one of two basic analyses defined by a modeof operation: 1. Transmitter Mode: The user-defined array transmits signal(s) that are then measured at user defined points at given field locations in order to develop a field pattern. In this mode, the measurement locations are located in the far-field of the array and its transmission elements, typically a constant distance from the array and uniformly spaced
