Engineering - Other (59)The inability of incoming students to successfully advance past the traditional freshman calculus sequence is a primary cause of attrition in engineering programs. This project is transforming engineering mathematics education across the nation, with the goal of increased student retention, motivation, and success in engineering. A highly successful introductory engineering course was developed at Wright State University with previous NSF funding and it is now being adapted at partnering institutions on this project. The engineering mathematics course includes lecture, laboratory, and recitation components with content designed to satisfy prerequisites for a significant number of core entry-level engineering and science courses. Students still complete their required mathematics courses, but are now able to do so at a later time in the curriculum while still making progress towards their degree. The research team includes award-winning teachers and innovators in curriculum development at the collaborating institutions. A total of 15 diverse institutions are adopting and assessing aspects of the model course and are broadly reporting on their findings.

工程-其他(59)新生不能成功地通过传统的新生微积分序列是工程专业减员的主要原因。该项目正在改变全国的工程数学教育，目标是提高学生在工程方面的留存、动力和成功。赖特州立大学利用之前的NSF资金开发了一门非常成功的工程学入门课程，目前正在该项目的合作机构中对其进行改编。工程数学课程包括讲课、实验室和复习部分，其内容旨在满足相当数量的核心入门级工程和科学课程的先决条件。学生们仍然完成必修的数学课程，但现在可以在课程的稍后时间这样做，同时仍然在攻读学位方面取得进步。研究团队包括合作机构的获奖教师和课程开发创新者。共有15个不同的机构正在采用和评估示范课程的各个方面，并广泛报告其调查结果。
