AB  - The goal of this project is to develop an understanding of how student engagement in a Signals and Systems base course in a large mid-Atlantic university can be improved through email interactions with Undergraduate Academic and Career Advisors who are advising the undergraduates who are taking the course. These interactions related to graded events may introduce the possibility to improve student performance and engagement in the course. The department supplied the template to use in corresponding with the academic advisors. The weekly interactions were offered by one instructor of the base course for six semesters from Spring 2021 to Fall 2023 (and we aim to continue in future semesters). As part of the teaching, starting in Spring 2022, the department asked the base course instructors to send emails to students who did not complete graded events using a template, and to copy each student’s undergraduate academic and career advisor on the emails. In this section, several hundred emails have been sent to date by the instructor. We aim to develop the course through these interactions with the students’ Advisors, and we present results of a comparison of the results in “Intervention groups” (Spring 2022, Fall 2022, Spring 2023, and Fall 2023) with the results in “Control groups” (Spring 2021 and Fall 2021 sections that did not receive the emails).  Preliminary results in Spring 2024 semester show that class attendance remains high; 100% of the students took Exam 1; approximately 10-20 students attend weekly Friday recitation sessions, and approximately 5-20 students attend weekly MATLAB recitation sessions. A major finding of this study is that the interactions have helped improve student attendance and quiz completion in subsequent weeks (after a missed quiz or class).
