. TheMathematical Association of America has created a subcommittee on “Curriculum Renewalacross the First Two Years” (project CRAFTY) [1]. The MAA has also published a summary ofresults from the NSF-sponsored project [2] and two reports which focus on determining themathematical needs of partner disciplines [3]. Several new directions have emerged, and themost relevant ones can be grouped into three areas: Calculus re-sequencing [4] [5], activelearning methods [2] [6] [7] [8], and applications from engineering & sciences [9] [10] [11] [12].This paper discusses a calculus redesign project that is in progress in the School of Engineeringand Applied Sciences at the University of Virginia. It will focus on the following questions: 1. How did the

total number of students and thenumber of women students enrolled as engineering majors – “184 students enrolled in the classof 1972 Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science, including six girls”.That the number of women enrolled is miniscule comes as no surprise. But what caught theauthor’s attention is that the phrasing was the number of girls enrolled as engineering majors.4.2 The University of Tulsa Academic Years 2000-2016: The Author’s Calculus I, II, and III StudentCourse Evaluation CommentsThere are student course evaluation comments suggesting changes in how the author teachescalculus. In Calculus II, Mathematica (http://www.wolfram.com) was introduced and used forsome homework problems and projects. In some

Paper ID #20036Performance by Gender on University Placement Tests in Mathematics andSpatial SkillsMr. Gavin Duffy, Ohio State University For the current academic year I am a visiting scholar at Ohio State University with my home institute being Dublin Institute of Technology where I am a lecturer in the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering. AT OSU I am working on a research project that is investigating the relationship between spatial ability and problem solving in engineering education. Before joining academia I worked in industry as a chemical engineer and control systems engineer and those are the topics

. Currently, he is leading a multi-institutional course redesign project in Math 1324 for the THECB. He is also active in a NSF funded GK-12 project with rural middle schools. Allen is editor of the Math/Science-Online Newsletter and a consulting editor for Thomson Learning. He is also associated editor for the Schools Science and Mathematics Journal and the Focus on Mathematics Pedagogy and Content. Allen, with more than 50 publications, has given nearly 40 professional develop- ment workshops and over 150 seminars throughout the U.S. and Europe. In particular, he has participated in numerous professional development workshops primarily for Texas high school teachers, including those in technonlogy, algebra, pre-calculus

In his teaching, Dr. Hieb focuses on innovative and effective use of tablets, digital ink, and other technology and is currently investigating the use of the flipped classroom model and collaborative learning. His research in cyber security for industrial control systems is focused on high assurance field devices using microkernel architectures.Mr. William B. Corley, University of Louisville William B. Corley, M.S., is the graduate research assistant on this project. He is an experimental psychol- ogy graduate student with the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at University of Louisville

Underrepresented Minority StudentsAbstractBoise State University (BSU) implemented an across-the-board reform of calculus instructionduring the 2014 calendar year. The details of the reform, described elsewhere (Bullock, 2015),(Bullock 2016), involve both pedagogical and curricular reform. Gains from the project haveincluded a jump in Calculus I pass rate, greater student engagement, greater instructorsatisfaction, a shift toward active learning pedagogies, and the emergence of a strongcollaborative teaching community. This paper examines the effects of the reform on studentretention. Since the curricular reform involved pruning some content and altering courseoutcomes, which could conceivably have negative downstream impacts, we report on studentsuccess

proximity, another possible reason of this special connection is that PLs are not involved inthe grading process. This makes students more relaxed when interacting with PLs.PLs give us feedback about the class during the semester; we do not have to wait for classevaluations at the end of the semester.What PLs take from their class experience.PLs’ experience in this program was overwhelmingly positive. For them it was a personaldevelopment process not just a job, and the little empowerment that comes with the position doescontribute to their growth as young individuals. For several of them this was the first opportunityto lead a group of peers on a technical project where they are expected to be the expert.All of them report that - Ability to
