its purpose and value is crucial. Thus, establishing how badges serve as a solution to an instructional or curricular problem must be communicated to faculty and students from the beginning of the implementation process. Additionally, the FSBPI suggests that demonstrating to faculty and students how badges can be shared externally may foster a broader understanding of their value. Finally, to guarantee the success, sustainability, and potential scalability of the badge architecture, the FSBPI recommends designing and incorporating a comprehensive evaluation and a revision plan. This plan must include instructors and teaching assistants (TA) continuous training to ensure grading consistency

of lesson plans. While we had originally planned to do a full implementation of theIODE curriculum in Fall 2020, due to the pandemic and classes being online, we waited untilFall 2021, when classes resumed in person, to fully implement the new curriculum and collectdata for comparison to Fall 2019.In Fall of 2019, each class started with a lecture going over the topic for the day, followed bytime in class for students to complete problems by mimicking examples from the instructor hadjust worked. Sometimes, a small portion of the lecture would be dedicated to why the giventechnique worked. However, the focus was on what to do rather than why it worked.The IODE curriculum implemented in Fall 2021 covered largely the same topics as Fall 2019

in preparatory worksheets before class and programming assignments alignedwith lectures and PLG sessions. Additionally, the curriculum integrates online self-pacedtraining auto-graded modules from the MathWorks platform.The course's unique design, combining MATLAB programming with mathematical analysis in acondensed half-semester each presents both advantages and challenges. It offers an efficient wayto cover essential topics rapidly, emphasizing the practical application of programming tomathematical concepts. This approach necessitates precise curriculum planning to ensure contentis both deep and manageable within the limited time, requiring strategies that maximize learningoutcomes and thoughtfully designed assessments to accurately gauge

shown more positive results [10] [11][12]. Future studies comparing students who are recommended placement in Precalculus onentrance exams but are allowed to start in Calculus I by AP or transfer credit with those who startin Precalculus may be used to further evaluate the effectiveness of the curriculum and examinethe necessity of a precalculus course. A deeper look at the relationship between performance inPrecalculus and the freshman math sequence with graduation and retention rates for engineeringstudents at Louisiana Tech University is also planned. Despite no change in performance insubsequent calculus courses, enthusiasm among faculty for the pilot led to full adoption in fall2023 with the goal of further refining the curriculum and

interventions designed to improve student persistence across all student groups. Perhapsthe most relevant finding in support of the research discussed in this paper is that increasing thefrequency of asking students to retrieve precalculus skills improves their retention acrosssubsequent semesters, better preparing them for courses later in their plans of study and tocomplete their engineering degrees [8]. It should be noted that while that study investigated thefrequency of retrieval in a precalculus course, it follows that incorporating space retrieval withinlater mathematics courses would benefit students.Considering the impact of calculus courses on retention and persistence within engineeringprograms, there is a clear need for intervention
