Academic Operations at The Citadel, Charleston, South Carolina. Dr. Bower’s teaching research interests are in improving active learning environments and the development of classroom pedagogy to improve moral development in engineering students. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 A Systematic Review of Models for Calculus Course InnovationsAbstractEngineering programs employ a variety of approaches for improving student retention. Often,students leaving engineering cite difficulties in their calculus courses as a major contributor totheir attrition. Specifically, students cite that early calculus classes lack practicality and seemdisconnected from their engineering majors

Engineering Education, 2019 Mechanical Engineering Organized Around Mathematical SophisticationThis paper describes a work in progress. It is applying a proven, NSF funded problem-solvingapproach to a new and important demographic of underrepresented minority students. Those thataspire to become engineering majors, but are not calculus ready. The work will determine if itincreases success for that population. The intervention, called the Conservation and AccountingPrinciples or CAP, is applicable to all Engineering Science (ES) [1]. The CAP unifies theapproach to ES problems and has Algebraic, Trigonometric and Calculus formulations. The CAPallows a student to solve real world (Authentic) problems in

Dean Adams, Utah State University c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 The Effects of Calculus I on Engineering Student PersistenceAbstractThe number of students that start in engineering and persist to graduation with an engineeringdegree is continually declining with the attrition rate currently around 50%. This concern withengineering student retention has pointed to many issues including the early math requirements,specifically, Calculus I. Calculus I has often been referred to as a “bottle-neck” course for anyengineering degree program, which implies that if a student can successfully
