There are severalfundamental issues, and we provide some solutions to these fundamental issues by reforming theIntroduction to Engineering course.The first fundamental issue is the open admission to the general population of students withdifferent mathematical skills. The curriculum of the engineering programs is much morerigorous than the other majors at VSU. Specifically, all of the engineering programs at VSU areaccredited by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET). To maintain theaccreditation, the engineering programs are required to follow a very vigorous curriculum.Therefore, the students with weak mathematical background have difficulty to satisfy therequirements and change their major

. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education in America is not yetachieving satisfactory results with traditionally underrepresented minority students. The high attrition rateof African Americans from the STEM pipeline has been identified as a greater barrier to increasedrepresentation than their attraction to non-quantitative fields. Critical thinking skills and self-directedinquiry are two areas that if enhanced at the entry level of science and engineering education, couldpossibly increase motivation for STEM careers for minority students when other barriers are addressed.There is a need within the curriculum for a process focused on how to effectively deliver the fundamentalidea of the material to help the students learn
