the Wright State Model First-Year Engineering Mathematics Course in a Startup School of EngineeringIntroductionThe Wright State Model was first implemented in 20043 with the goal of increasing studentretention, motivation and success in engineering at Wright State University. “The WrightState Model approach begins with the development of a novel freshman-level engineeringmathematics course, "Introductory Mathematics for Engineering Applications." Taught byengineering faculty, the course includes lecture, laboratory and recitation components. Usingan application-oriented, hands-on approach, the course addresses only the salient math topicsactually used in core engineering courses. … The result has shifted the traditional emphasison math

fields [2, 3]. This study aims tointroduce the use of inertial measurement units (IMUs) as an active learning intervention in anotherwise traditional (lecture based) engineering course in dynamics. IMUs are relativelyinexpensive and versatile enough to employ in a large lecture setting without the need for adedicated laboratory. The IMUs in this study incorporate three-axis MEMS accelerometers andangular rate gyros together with on-board memory. These sensors have the added benefits ofbeing relatively small (1.5”x1”x0.5”), not requiring students to provide their own hardware (i.e.smartphones), and allowing for standardization for conducting experiments. The interventiondocumented in this paper represents the first of three levels that will

The second theme describes how students perceive facultyteaching approaches within their departments, again with two emergent dimensions: traditionalversus contemporary and prescribed versus open-ended. The traditional versus contemporarydimension focuses on the pedagogical practices used in non-laboratory and laboratory courses.Traditional approaches are those considered prototypical of engineering. For example, studentsdescribing traditional approaches talk about classes dominated by lectures in which students arerequired to take notes or read PowerPoint ® slides, and course assessments consist mostly ofindividual assignments and quizzes. Similarly, students in
