Dr. Hansen implemented a new “hands-on” approach to a
[formerly] numerical methods course in civil engineering at
Dalhousie University. A linear cascade of reservoirs was
modelled in five different ways:
experimentally, numerically, analytically,
statistically and by use of systems simulation software.

This paper reported preliminary work which revealed that students
who later entered one particular engineering discipline at Memorial
University achieved higher average grades in the common first year
than students who later chose any of the other three
disciplines.

George, G.H., Moore, E. & Patey, M.C., “ A Simple Model for Predicting Success in an Engineering Programme”, International Journal of Engineering Education, vol. 10(3), pages 268-273, 1994.
This paper presents a logistic regression model to predict
graduation on time from the bachelor of engineering programme at
Memorial University, using the grades obtained in the common core
courses in term 2.
It is based upon a work term report by Mr. Matthew Patey and the
full version appears as EAST report 93-001 in the Faculty of
Engineering and Applied Science.
