strong science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) workforce is essential and critical in advancing the economy and society of the future. But the U.S continues to trail the world in math and science. And also the number of U.S students pursuing a STEM career or educating is decreasing as mentioned in [1] – [3]. A change in the way math is taught and presented in the classroom is urgently needed. Instructors need to be able to engage the students in learning by communicating that the study of mathematics and its objective is not to study math for math sake but to be able to apply it as a tool to solve the world’s complex and essential problems. The topic of sustainable energy is no longer a topic reserved for scientists and

factors were considered with regards to the students’ success in the bridgeprogram. These factors resulted in some changes which were implemented in the 2010 summerbridge program. The 2010 program saw a larger percentage of students improve their mathcourse placement, with 83% of the students improving their math placement in 2010 vs. 68% in2009. These factors are discussed as well.IntroductionIn the United States today, there is great interest in the education and graduation of morestudents in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines.1,2There are two primary tasks that are needed for this goal to be accomplished. First, morestudents need to be attracted to pursue college-level studies in the STEM fields. Second

In contrast to one-to-many classroom learning, web technologies can help adjust the pace, sequence, and method ofinstruction to better fit each individual student’s learning behavior and needs. Presently, e-learning is deeply integrated into school curricula to facilitate learning,2 and a fair amount ofliterature discusses that traditional science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) educationcan be greatly benefited by incorporating e-learning strategies.3, 4, 5, 6

Not allthe changes appear to be for the better, and there are tradeoffs. The discussion focuses primarilyon anecdotal examples, although some statistical data are included.1.

Thirty-fivestudents were enrolled in the course. The class met four days per week for 50 minutes. Theformat of the class was primarily lecture, with active learning activities interspersed throughoutthe semester. The students were given four exams during the semester and a cumulative finalexam.

IntroductionThe needs related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education in theUSA are many. A well-recognized need is for more K-12 students to pursue STEM disciplines atthe university level. It is the acknowledgement of this need that is central to the various STEMinitiatives at the National Science Foundation (NSF), as well as other funding agencies. Thereare a wide variety of reasons responsible for the increased lack of interest in STEM subjectsamong younger (K-12) students. Based on the proposals that were funded
