/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

effects, perform a web search, or make a phone call, you areutilizing technologies that rely on linear algebra concepts. From graphics, image processing,and cryptography to machine learning, computer vision, optimization, graph algorithms,quantum computation, computational biology, information retrieval, and web search, linearalgebra has diverse and essential applications. As our audience consists of engineering students, the practical application of linear alge-bra is particularly relevant. Regrettably, the previous course did not emphasize this aspect.As an instructor who teaches this course each semester, I have frequently been asked bystudents why Linear Algebra is necessary. Some students could not perceive the value oftaking the class

. It is also core to the understanding of numerous probability distributions instatistics, hence, fundamental knowledge of this concept is crucial for a successful career inscience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The proposed experiment will ease thecomplexities involved in the learning of calculus students by using experimental centric pedagogy(ECP), which entails providing simple yet relevant experiments that would boost the students’interest in this field. The concepts of differentiation and integration would be practicallydemonstrated to students using Hooke’s law, velocity, acceleration with respect to time, and rulerexperiment. The project would employ readily available utilities to demonstrate integration anddifferentiation

The following section provides a mathematical example showing the differences ofusing an omnifinite number system in comparison to a finite number system.Comparative Mathematical Example using OmnifinitesDetailed examples are beyond the scope of this work. Omnifinites, which are numbers that mayonly be used in closed number systems, were developed by engineers (authors of this work andthe list of persons included in the acknowledgement) for engineers and for people in all appliedareas of study including but not limited to science, technology and medicine.
