Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Redesigned Application Oriented Integral Calculus CurriculumAbstractThis paper presents the development of an application based curriculum for an integral calculuscourse, a project funded by the KEEN Foundation. Textbook examples are frequentlydisconnected from students’ immediate environment or use past data of little interest. In addition,information given on the subject is at most sketchy and the practical purpose of solving theseexamples is not clear. This lack of vivid applications in calculus courses motivated us to developcontent that can be used by instructors to enhance students’ learning experience by engagingthem directly in solving problems and applying attained skills to real life

courses teach students to work on well-defined andoversimplified problems. Average college students believe that the solution to all problemssimply implies finding the right formulas and plugging data into those formulas. Consequently,the learning of mathematics comes down to remembering formulas. Given application problemswhere the solutions are not based on formula association, most students do not know how to starttheir work. With the increasing complexity of postmodern technology, bridging the gap betweenreal-world problems and problems in textbooks becomes an increasingly critical pedagogicalissue.

The challengesfaced by the department are 1) to offer these dual majors an integrated curriculum that wouldtake advantage of their engineering background and 2) to offer a curriculum which will enablethem to complete the degree within one additional year without compromising the integrity ofthe program. In this paper, the authors discuss in detail their Computational Mathematicscurriculum and the modification of the curriculum for the dual majors.IntroductionComputational Mathematics is a multidisciplinary field that applies the

their first two years, students often fail to make connections between related concepts intheir calculus and introductory science courses. This disconnect early in their curriculum canhamper engineering majors in their ability to understand how these courses relate to theirdiscipline and can serve as a “turn-off” for students who fail to engage in these courses. Here wepresent how we have tried to address this problem by integrating basic calculus concepts into theintroductory freshman and sophomore biology, chemistry and physics science laboratory courses.In this paper, we will feature a biology laboratory experiment where students examine a growthcurve for algae, a chemistry lab involving an instantaneous rate calculation for a rocket launch

Suchsolutions, even if the exact differential equations are known, generate only an approximatesolution. And in the case of finite element analyses, the solutions are not conservative.In engineering practice, number crunching has become routine. However, solutions aregenerated and constantly modified to meet unforeseen changes. After the solution has beencalculated, modifying it is often done at considerable time and expense depending on thecomplexity of the problem and the dependency of the variable to other related system variables.It would be beneficial to teach engineers to develop general solutions which can be
