A National Model for Engineering Mathematics Education

工程-其他（59）新生无法顺利通过传统的大一微积分课程是工程专业人员流失的主要原因。这个项目正在改变全国的工程数学教育，目标是提高学生的保留率、积极性和在工程方面的成功。赖特州立大学在以前的NSF资助下开发了一门非常成功的入门工程课程，现在正在这个项目的合作机构中进行调整。工程数学课程包括讲座、实验和背诵部分，其内容旨在满足大量核心入门工程和科学课程的先决条件。学生仍然完成他们的必修数学课程，但现在可以在课程的晚些时候这样做，同时仍然朝着他们的学位前进。研究团队包括在合作院校屡获殊荣的教师和课程发展的创新者。共有15个不同的机构正在采用和评估模型课程的各个方面，并广泛报告他们的发现。

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.
