last spring indicated that 23% ofthe respondents had not chosen a major. Of those listing a major, only 3.4% had selectedengineering. However, just fewer than 20% had selected areas (Science, Electrical/IndustrialMaintenance, Construction, Computer Information Technology, and Homeland Security) thatcould lead to engineering. Additional information is necessary to ascertain the motivationsbehind these selections. The survey information collected will be used in the initial preparationof the new recruiting materials for both institutions.The University has updated many of its policies to assist veterans with the transition.

According to political leaders, thisstrength “has continued to create jobs and raise living standards . . . However, the rising trend ofoutsourcing high technology manufacturing and high-end services jobs overseas presents a newand fundamentally different phenomenon.

This paper presents amethod aimed at fostering deeper learning in calculus among engineering students withoutrequiring changes in the current calculus curriculum. In addition, the alterations presented areengineered to be easily implemented at any institution and can be used by any science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) department that positions calculus as aprerequisite to specific disciplinary content.6.
