However, while the class connects students to peers, campus resources, and morecontext for what a career in engineering might look like, it does not actively incorporate largeportions of the math curriculum as other first year programs have attempted [6]. Traditionally,students who place into Intermediate Algebra (MATH 099) in the fall of their first year ofcollege must take this course as well as a two-part Precalculus sequence (MATH 141 and MATH142) before being ready for a Calculus 1 (MATH 151) class. Students can enroll in ENGR 101concurrent with MATH 141.The Engineering in Context learning community changes this sequencing by offering students amultidisciplinary cohort experience over two quarters [7

Studies and Hands-on Learning to Empower Non-Engineers to Excel in a Tech-Driven WorldAbstractThis paper presents an experience report on a new general education course designed to buildconfidence in students across all academic majors, most of which are non-STEM, in exploring,evaluating, and adopting emerging technologies for their future careers. The modular coursecombines case studies with hands-on learning activities that incorporate generative AI, equippingstudents to thrive in an era of rapid technological change. Results from pre- and post-coursesurveys show a marked increase in student confidence in achieving the course outcomes.Furthermore, module-specific surveys indicate positive student perceptions, highlighting

Most daunting is harmoniously integrating the three dimensions of science learninghighlighted by NGSS: Core ideas, science and engineering practices, and cross-cutting concepts.While the core ideas are similar to previous standards, the emphasis on students’ understandingof the approach and methods employed by engineers and scientists and the demand thatengineering and technology be integrated into the structure of science education by “raisingengineering design to the same level as scientific inquiry” [15] presented new challenges toscience teachers.The integration of these standards provides math, science, and engineering teachers theopportunity to develop students’ knowledge and

Moreover, outdated assessmentmethods, such as high-stakes exams, reinforce this disconnect, often producing medianscores below 40% and fostering frustration rather than confidence.This experimental course aims to reframe calculus education to emphasize not justtheoretical principles but their practical applications.
