I coursewill generate A‟s, B‟s, C‟s and D‟s for engineering students as well as for other majors. Yet,assuming that grades are an indication of what was learned, it is imperative that most engineeringstudents earn an “A” or an “B”, due to the need for this knowledge in subsequent calculus-basedcourses in the freshman engineering curriculum. This discussion supports the need for moretutoring and mentoring of freshman engineering students in Calculus I as an intervention strategyfor student success than for students in other fields.With the comparison of the distributions of the STEM GPA and the overall GPA for Calculus Istudents at this university, the difficulty that Calculus I students are having in their otherfreshman-level courses

By making critical thinking an explicit outcome of the course, students should bebetter prepared to strengthen and enrich their critical thinking skills in future (upper level)courses.Also, planned in the revisions of the course is the creation of a standard case study evaluationrubric that will be used to evaluate parts of the case study assignments. This rubric will allowthe course instructor(s) as well as any TAs to consistently grade these assignments.
