challenges faced by students entering college [3]. The prerequisiteskills required in an engineering program leave students more likely to experience thesechallenges [2], [4]. First-year engineering students are often simultaneously enrolled in coremath, engineering, and science courses which require strong fundamentals and involvecomputationally intensive content [2], [5].Efforts have been made to better understand these transitional challenges for first-yearengineering students [6]. Tinto's Model of Integration emphasizes the importance of academicand social integration for first-year student success [7], which has been used as the foundationfor models related to engineering retention in engineering education [2], [8].

STEM. Craftingmitigation plans aimed at student success should be research based and implemented to welcomeand benefit all students. Researchers have worked to identify predictors of STEM persistence,both before matriculation and after. A student’s level of academic success before matriculation isa strong predictor of STEM persistence. These predictors include standardized test scores andtaking calculus in high school [9], [10].Research has found that, after matriculation, a student’s likelihood to complete an undergraduatedegree was linked to a student’s level of academic and social integration. Tinto [11] definesacademic integration by a student's academic performance and their perception of their ownacademic experience. Therefore, it

an engineering school of a four-year, R1 public research universitywith roughly 22,000 students. The purpose of the study is to understand the impact of theredesigned curriculum of a calculus sequence on students.ParticipantsAll 25 students who took the engineering math sequence in Fall 2018 and Spring 2019 wereparticipants, with 21 completing all three surveys. Of the 21 participants, 15 were male and 6were female.Data CollectionThe impact is evaluated using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Data sources includeplacement test scores, pre-course and post-course surveys, and final exam grades. This sequenceis a two-semester sequence. All first-year students took a placement test prior to arrival. The pre-course survey was

rote learning because students can rapidly useknowledge to solve an issue at hand while internalizing the minimal amount of essential andrelevant information. Because they do not have to repeat the same material in several areas,integrated content also frees up students' time to study new information. This improves thinkingspeed and turns the brain into a programming machine rather than making learning dull. Apartfrom obtaining engagement for learners’ interdisciplinary integration has some advantages forinstructors as well. Teachers are familiar with interdisciplinary information in their subject areas,making it simple to synthesize and condense knowledge into primary ideas that are distinct fromone another and are easy to visualize

contenthelp in the education and later in the performance as an engineer? - the creators of the theorybegan to discuss with professors of mathematics courses, professors of specific courses ofengineering programs and even professional engineers. In these conversations they found adifficulty in communication due to the specific language used in each training, often usingdifferent languages and different symbols for the same mathematical content.From these concerns and the need to have a curriculum more appropriate to courses that useMathematics as a tool, according to Camarena [15], the TMCC curricular phase emerged.In this phase, a methodology was developed to design study programs, firstly of mathematicsfor engineering programs, called Dipcing
