In this study, Calculus I engineering students were compared to students inother fields of study (Pre-Med, non-engineering STEM students, and Non-STEM students) whoalso enrolled in Calculus I as their first math course in college. “STEM” refers to science,technology, engineering and math majors.From this study, the following research conclusions were made: 1. There was no significant difference in the grade distribution of the engineering students‟ Calculus I grade compared to students in other fields. 2. A significant difference in the distributions of the first-year GPA (grade point average) existed among the four student sectors with the engineering students showing the distribution with the lowest first-year GPA

Engineering (MSOE) began a thorough reviewof its BME curriculum. The curriculum had been relatively stable for about 12 years with smallchanges made to keep the curriculum current with changes in technology. To meet the need forcontinuous improvement, the faculty undertook a redesign of the entire curriculum in an effort toincorporate new educational techniques and modern engineering concepts. Because of the time ittakes to complete a complete curricular change, as well as the time between these large changes,the faculty spent considerable time ensuring the curriculum effectively and efficiently metcurrent and perceived future needs of the program and its constituents. Most of the current andperceived future needs were determined from the Engineer of
