Instructor: John Lamothe
The requirement for the Analytical Report states that the topic should be chosen according to the students major. Therefore, as an Electrical Engineering student I have chosen to write about a problem in my major; which is the lack of foundation classes that can help significantly in further major classes.
1. Purpose (what is the research question they are trying to answer? Why is it important?)
This report will debate to what extent are foundation classes necessary to aid the students in further classes for the Electrical Engineering major. Also, the main purpose behind this report is to find out whether there is a relationship between the student low efficiency in the major courses and the lack of basic foundation courses. To some people this may seem like a dull topic. However, it is crucial to a student’s career and …show more content…
What is the problem?
Some students face problems in some particular major courses. They lack that strong background that would support them in those certain classes. As a result, they end up failing or doing poorly in their field of study.
3. Why is it a problem?
Embry-riddle is the educational sanctuary for a lot of international students. Therefore, most international students have different educational backgrounds which may result in giving them a hard time understanding new materials .For example, the electrical engineering major requires a set of skills, no foundation whatsoever is provided in my country to support that kind of skill.
4. How do I know this is a problem?
I have been around many international and local students since I admitted to Embry-riddle Aeronautical University. Exchanging opinions with fellow colleagues I have found that this is the most debated subject. Nearly 75% of all the students that I have spoken with have approved that
