Areason for the high attrition in mathematics courses required of STEM students is the lack ofacademic student support in Calculus 1 classes. Calculus 1 forms the foundation for moreadvanced mathematics courses required by the STEM major and thus plays an important role inthe undergraduate curriculum. At UTPA and STC, there are weaknesses in services for Calculus1 students. Tutoring programs and online materials (available to anyone with an internetconnection) exist on both campuses.

As students explore and define the capstone project, they gain an understanding for the real life constraints such as budget, schedule, etc. (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. Most engineering courses focus on solving the problem. The capstone experience is an ideal opportunity to allow students the experience of identifying and formulating the
