However,the grade distributions showed that they in fact performed better in the summer format.When considering the future, since summer offerings seem to have definite positive potential interms of student performance, progression and learning, the intention is to encourage thecontinued and increased offering of such courses. Further, since these are core foundationalcourses within the program, the real measure of their success should be gauged by tracking theperformance of these specific students in their direct follow-on courses, and not solely via theirperformance in the summer course alone; a tracking plan is being implemented for

The interviewees made reference to the fourth way of thinking about Six Sigma. “Kumar etal. (2007) argued that Six Sigma is an extension to quality improvement initiatives such as theTotal Quality Management (TQM) because of the similarities between the Six Sigma method ofDesign, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control (DMAIC) and the Deming’s PDCA (Plan, Do,Check, and Act).”(​Tjahjono​ ​et al., 2010, p. 7).Daniel, Ronald and Matt, three out of the five interviewees used Six Sigma methodology in dailyproblem solving

The assumption in this case, however, is thatstudents are not prepared for Calculus. The common remedy is to simply prepend a Precalculuscourse to the pattern provided in Example 1. The learning outcomes are the same as those providedin Example 1. The design pattern itself is shown in Figure 3, with the course crucialities showninside of each node.Remark 1.

Similar to the Lorenz system example, Hilpert and colleagues (2013, 2014) have used differentialequation modeling to produce simulations of how students plan for a future career in engineering as theyenter young adulthood. Their work is an example of how dynamic modeling can be used to examinestudents planning, self-regulation, and problem solving. They integrate interviews, surveys, and studentdrawings of timelines of their lives to produce dynamic models for how students’ goals shift with regardto 1) what they value in the future

One student discussed the differences between their previous beliefs of engineers as“typically non-social people who were only proficient at math and science” and those they holdas a result of participating in STEP, which included constructively using criticism and effectivelycommunicating ideas. Another student discussed their prior belief about engineers as “glorifiedfactory workers,” but, through the course and participation in STEP, came to see engineers as“dynamic problem solvers” who engage in “careful planning and out of the box problemsolving.” Additionally, students shared
