In order to provide students with better scaffolding for building thisknowledge, students should have earlier and more frequent exposures to learning that scaffoldstheir ability to make meaning

This paper describes thesemost recent modifications to the course and presents results from students who took the modifiedcourse as they moved forward in their academic careers and took second year mathematics andscience courses. We collected data both in the form of grades and measurements of students’self-efficacy to explore how increasing mathematical content in the first-year engineering classcan improve students’ performance in both co-enrolled and subsequently enrolled mathematicsand science courses.The work
