数学仍然是工程专业学生的一个主要障碍。作者在FIE 2014上展示了一个试点的预计算夏季计划的结果。在目前的文件中，我们纵向检查的结果，制度化版本的前微积分夏季计划超过四年。在数学分班考试中得分低于22分的学生可以a）参加个性化的微积分前课程（PPP）或B）参加秋季微积分前课程。本研究的研究问题是：有多好的学生谁采取了PPP表现在微积分和工程微积分课程序列相比，谁没有参加PPP的学生？PPP包括一个在线学习计划，其中包括代数和三角学中常见困难领域的练习问题，并要求前三年在六周内进行30小时的在线辅导，第四年在三周内进行相同的小时数。在本文中，我们分析了该计划四年来的趋势，以确定参与者是否通过工程微积分序列取得了成功。
Mathematics continues to be a major hurdle for engineering students. The authors presented results of a pilot precalculus summer program at FIE 2014. In the current paper, we examined longitudinally the results of the institutionalized version of the precalculus summer program over four years. Students who scored less than 22 on the Mathematics Placement Exam could either a) participate in the personalized precalculus program (PPP) or b) take the fall precalculus course. The research question for this study was: How well did the students who took the PPP perform in the precalculus and engineering calculus course sequence compared with the students who did not participate in the PPP? The PPP included an online study plan with practice problems in common areas of difficulty in algebra and trigonometry and required online tutoring sessions for 30 hours over a six-week period for the first three years and the same number of hours over a three-week period for the fourth year. For this paper, we analyzed the trends over four years of the program to determine whether participants are progressing successfully through the engineering calculus sequence.
