considered. In this study, Calculus I engineering students were compared to students inother fields of study (Pre-Med, non-engineering STEM students, and Non-STEM students) whoalso enrolled in Calculus I as their first math course in college. “STEM” refers to science,technology, engineering and math majors.From this study, the following research conclusions were made: 1. There was no significant difference in the grade distribution of the engineering students‟ Calculus I grade compared to students in other fields. 2. A significant difference in the distributions of the first-year GPA (grade point average) existed among the four student sectors with the engineering students showing the distribution with the lowest first-year GPA
