Peer Leader program, initiated by Dr. Sandra Pettit, places senior undergraduate students in classes to serve as peer leaders to younger cohorts of students. Peer Leaders receive training in basic pedagogical skills such as classroom management, Socratic questioning, and facilitating collaboration and group work.  A pilot study performed in chemical engineering showed that blended classrooms with Peer Leaders result in better student performance and higher student satisfaction rates. Since Dr. Pettit piloted this program, data and learning modules innovated in chemical engineering have been employed in rolling out a USF-wide undergraduate peer leader program, benefiting the entire USF student community.

Engineering students generally take a course in differential equations during their sophomore year, after completing a calculus sequence. With the belief that engineering students are better motivated to learn mathematics when they can see its applications, Professors Scott Campbell and Carlos Smith developed a course - - in which differential equations are introduced and developed in the context of mathematical modeling of physical systems. By comparing engineering students who took this course with those who take a standard differential equations course, Campbell and Smith have demonstrated that students who take Modeling and Analysis develop the ability to solve differential equations in subsequent courses to a higher degree than those who took a standard differential equations course. Moreover, results indicated that student satisfaction was higher among students who took EGN3343 than among those who took a standard Differential Equations course. Students taking the course now represent all seven engineering disciplines in the College of Engineering, and the course has been formally recognized by the College as a substitute for the standard Differential Equations course for all engineering students.
