Project Outcome Report

A multidisciplinary approach including Electrical and Computer Engineering, Physics and Astronomy, and Science Education that focuses on underrepresented students through our collaboration with the Women In Science and Engineering program and the Center of Science and Mathematics Education.

Short-term outcomes include new materials in the form of hardware and software, and presentations related to the projects for delivery of the courses. Long-term outcomes include better motivation of our students to be in the STEM and high technology workplace or part of academic life as faculty.

Project Outcome Report

Development of several new prototype technologies which further the goals of blended-online education, including a system that allows the question generation and grading features of online questioning systems to be used in an offline lecture environment

Outcomes TBD

Calculus hybrid and flipped module development to support best practices, employ a pre-calculus screening exam for early identification and focused remediation for students with weak skills, and creation of targeted tutorials to keep students "on-track"

The classroom model we developed is now being used in all sections of Calculus 1 at Binghamton, and we are developing a process to train instructors in this method. With a little more development, we should be ready to publicize it more broadly and help other institutions adopt it.

Project Outcome Report

Creation of modules to support personalized instruction in mathematics by allowing students to work at a guided self-pace, with a focus on content mastery.

Cayuga College's vision is to create efficient educational pathways for students as they pursue their long term goals.
