Despite the attention on the needfor change, many times change is slow and difficult [3].Using the S-STEM award as a catalyst for change, the S-STEM team implemented a pilotcorequisite model of precalculus and calculus the fall semester of 2020 and 2021. The pilotprogram studied and compared the performance of cohort of students in the corequisite course incomparison to similar cohort of students in a precalculus course [7]. This study was done withtwo sets of incoming first year engineering and science students. In general, it was found thatstudents had a positive view of the corequisite course, and the course did not hinder students’progress through the calculus sequence [7].

Theory pre-requisite nowhighlights mathematical modeling and solution techniques tailored for success in linear systemswithout requiring differential equations as a pre-requisite. Calculus II continues to remain fairlystandard. One particular student who was taking differential equations simultaneously with theredesigned linear systems course credited the latter course with the ability to earn an A in theformer. Interesting how such ideas come full circle!The question to consider is, “what about those students who took both linear systems coursessimultaneously”? This professor has had at least five students in this category. In Summer 2022,the author taught both courses using the same textbook and planned how the courses progressedwith the new

. IntroductionInstitutions of higher education have long sought ways to meet the needs of the workforce.Research shows that there is a shortage of qualified STEM graduates in the workforce.1, 2, 3 Researchfrom the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (2022) indicates that K-12 studentsare not well-prepared to enter into STEM degrees. This is likely one factor in the lack of STEMgraduates from 4-year institutions. Due to this lack of entry into the pipeline to STEM careers, thosethat choose this path need to continue to graduation. Studies show that there is more attrition inSTEM fields than in other fields.5A challenge faced by the majority of institutions of higher education is student retention. Typicalmodels that institutions of higher

project. In Fall 2023, students started the project by touring the on-campus powerplant. Then students worked in groups to design a vapor cycle to integrate into an existing gascycle to create a combined cycle. The project included formative assessments to help studentslearn more about the design process before completing summative assessment of a final report.In addition to teaching about the engineering design process, the format of the project alsoyielded a deeper understanding of the material.MotivationAt the 2022 Annual ASEE Conference, Andrew Lutz presented the Rankine Cycle design projectthat he created and implemented in class [1].
