In this paper, we describe the results obtained from two groups offirst-year engineering students selected for the case study. These students were enrolled in acourse titled The Impact of modern technologies on society, which also fulfills the social andbehavioral sciences core curriculum requirement at the institution. The course was conducted at aHispanic-Serving Institution with a

/Academic Variables Related to Engineering PersistenceThe importance of mathematical achievement and preparation to engineering persistence hasbeen well documented. Seymour and Hewitt [6] posited over two decades ago that if students areproficient in mathematics and science at an early age, then this proficiency encourages them tochoose science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) undergraduate majors alongwith employment in STEM fields such as engineering [1]. Veenstra and colleagues [7]highlighted key differences regarding factors that predict retention and academic successbetween engineering majors and other majors. They found that high school academicachievement in mathematics and sciences are weighted heavily for engineering majors

for those who took college algebra andtrigonometry [2]. Also, some studies suggest that taking high school calculus does notnecessarily contribute to success in college calculus. Instead, mastering the prerequisites(algebra, geometry, and trigonometry) is more important. Hence, we find it crucial not to makeassumptions on what the student does or does not know and start with diagnostics to assessstudents’ prior knowledge and provide paths that allow the student to progress effectively.1.2 The Consequence of Prolonged Time to Degree CompletionCalculus 1 serves as a critical gateway course for many advanced science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) classes. However, a sizable number of incoming studentsstruggle with calculus

Paper ID #42886The Impact of Inquiry-Oriented, Differential-Equations Instruction on Students’Performance and Beliefs about MathematicsDr. Julia Spencer, University of Virginia Julie Spencer finished her Ph.D. in math from the University of Virginia in August of 2014. During graduate school, she developed a deep excitement about teaching math, and was able to spend the last year of her dissertation teaching at Mary Baldwin College (now Mary Baldwin University), a small women’s liberal arts school. In Fall of 2015, she started teaching applied math with the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of
