Abstract

Educators all agree that there are several key factors in a student's ability to succeed in the highly demanding Engineering curriculum. In an ongoing attempt to improve undergraduate education the Dean's office at North Carolina A&T State University organized a group of core topic engineering educators to meet regularly and discuss and share ideas on classroom topics. The importance of classroom management can never be understated. A successful experience for our students begins with preparation and as professors, the internet and online tools offers a means to encourage this preparation. Then we have shown more evidence that attendance is also crucial. Finally, the quality of good notes is noted for the most successful students. More importantly, attention to taking more complete notes can help the lower end students achieve greater success. ©2007 IEEE.
