mathematics are embedded in ETKsafter providing an introduction to the kits.BackgroundSince 2002, we have been developing and testing Engineering Teaching Kits (ETKs) tointroduce middle school students to engineering concepts and techniques as well as underlyingmathematics and science concepts.10, 11, 12 ETKs emphasize the engineering design approach toproblem solving. Topics are identified from science, mathematics, and technology that haveinteresting engineering applications, and then lessons are constructed to help students learnmathematics and science in the context of engineering design. Our purpose is to introduce pre-college students to engineering and show them what engineers do. We also hope to convey thefun and excitement of engineering and

improvement in mathematics skills over theshort term increase more, but the effects are not as lasting as desired. This could be a result ofstudent tendency to memorize what is needed to the moment, and during the 1-1.5 monthsbetween the PPP and the beginning of fall classes, their knowledge fades.There are many colleges and universities whose engineering students struggle with theircalculus requirements. Based on the results of this study, there are several recommendationsto consider: 1) Institute a bridge program to support students and increase success. 2) Usetutors along with any technology intervention. 3) Ensure the program length providessufficient hours for immersion in the content but also allows time to process material andengage in

The Pre-Engineering and Pre-Engineering Technologycurricula consist of a set of courses normally taken by students during the first four semestersof the curricula. When students complete the pre-programs with a grade of C or higher in allthe course work, they can apply and be admitted into the professional programs. There arecurrently no established enrollment limits for admission to CEAS professional programs.This paper should be of interest to other engineering, engineering technology, and appliedscience programs with similar student demographics as WMU, because the engineeringmathematics course, the CEAS-EXEP

Understanding the mediational of VMTwG inlearning mathematics can inform our understanding of how learners interact with othertechnological tools for doing mathematics and how learners build their knowledge using thetools. This understanding can be extended to engineering students. Their learning’ activities canbe mediated epistemically, pragmatically, or pedagogically by technological tools. The differentmediations of tools in students’ learning activity allow us to see clearly how students engage inan activity, which helps educators to support students’ learning
