Advisingcovers academic planning and success strategies, transition issues, and any personal problemsthat may impact a Scholar’s retention in STEM or at Rice. All student performance is activelymonitored, enabling advisors to intervene even if students are being seen less frequently. RESP’slongitudinal, intrusive advising model proved so successful it has been adapted for other Ricestudents through the development of the Office of Student Success Initiatives.

Question 5 For the first-year engineering program in the Watson School retention has improved.Anecdotal evidence from students and instructors suggests that the change in the first-yearengineering program’s approach plays a large part in keeping students engaged and wanting tofurther experience the world of engineering. The engineering design process was built into thecurriculum in a way that allowed students to develop ideas, create designs, evaluate them, andcommunicate the results by thinking creatively and abstractly. Students developed effectivecommunication skills by presenting their design plans, results, tests, and redesigns. They wereable to articulate a particular approach to a design, what went wrong with a design, and whatsteps were

A habitat-like structure is to be designed by arranging a variety of hexagonalprisms - differing in weight and functional characteristics - upon a site map of hexagonal spaces.The overall goal is to design a buoyant structure that is aesthetically appealing, cost competitiveand functionally sound, with adequate anchorage.

a) The weight of the new chassis is still heavier than the original fuel cell car, which reduces run time. b) The fuel cell car`s maneuverability is limited by the size of the chassis and the type and number of sensors. c) Running time is still short (2 minute approximately) so it would be beneficial to increase this. d) New fuel cell car requires twice as much fuel in order to maintain original run times.The case activities, course concepts and report due dates were planned for five stages,summarized in Table 2. Ultimately, the students recommended design improvements for the nextversion of the chassis based on the case activity results. Students worked in teams of five andcompleted

My plan is to change two of the MATLAB exercises intohands-on activities for the fall term of the 2015-2016 academic year. Since the majority of theelectrical engineering students enjoy hands-on building exercises, this change will further help instimulating their learning.In particular, the two hardware labs
