Concept image and concept definition idea of Vinner (1992) with the triad classification appears to be a good candidate for evaluating the responses of the participants to the research question evaluated in this work. The design of the questionnaire and the interviews played an important role in the decision of the choice of the methodology to evaluate the collected data. References1.

Email Address Abstract: Many high schools nation-wide recognize the need, and are showing interest in engineering education, however, only a small percentage of those schools have been able to fully integrate an engineering component into their curriculum. The reasons for this are: lack of infrastructure, lack of training, lack of appropriate and sustainable curriculum, and lack of student interest. Paradoxically, many schools have maintained or increased the teaching of programming in their schools (Dewar, 2008). Strangely there has been little effort to correlate these two activities. Prensky (2008) stated that one of the stated core skills today’s engineer need is: an understanding of

the Preparationfor Calculus curriculum was deployed in an unproctored environment at two universities. Thisstrategy consisted of requiring benchmark assessment scores in the curriculum that is offered inan online environment through the ALEKS Corporation. Students were highly motivated tocomply with the assessment requirement because 10% of their grade was based on theirachievement of the benchmark assessment level set for their course. These levels were 40% forPrecalculus and 70% for Calculus. Each university paid for one assessment for the students, andstudents were allowed to re-assess as many times as they wished. Analysis of the data fromBoise State University yields the conclusion that the addition of ALEKS assessment as a

Figuring out how to find the abc’s in y=ax2+bx+c and then integratexdA to get the answer without using the equation on the back cover was not considered, eventhough the integration process had been the focus of a lecture two hours earlier and the studentwanted to know how the equation was developed.

Of the surveyed Algebra and Geometry texts, problems were not identifiedas engineering problems12. With the problems unlabeled or mislabeled, it is likely that studentswill not make the connection.
