distribute one week to teach a simpleintroduction. The detailed topics about GVS usually are taught for math majors in a secondor an advanced version of a linear algebra course. Considering our audience are engineeringstudents, it is evident that numerical applications are preferred. The discoveries from thementioned peer institutes also validated such revision. Secondly, we add numerical compo-nents, which are not included in PTC . There are four parts for the newly added numericalcomponent: MATLAB live script for instructors to teach, MATLAB practice problems ingroup worksheet during each class meeting, coding basic concepts in MATLAB Grader, andMATLAB application projects in MATLAB Grader. By writing MATLAB programs, stu-dents have to imagine the

classAbstract: A redesigned engineering math sequence was implemented from fall 2016 to spring2020, and the study focused on data collected during fall 2018 and spring 2019 from a singleclass with a sample size of 25. The results of the study suggest that the redesigned sequencepositively impacted students' material mastery, communication, collaboration, andmetacognition. Although the sample size was small, and the results were not statisticallysignificant, it was found that students' view of math and perception of their preparedness mayplay a role in their participation and how they interact with the material, with peers, and with theinstructor and TAs.Keywords: engineering math, Calculus, active learning, redesignIntroductionCore curriculum for
