Students are givengroup and individual assignments, all of which are graded and returned with additional feedback.Besides providing a detailed overview of the course, the observations made and lessons learnedfrom teaching the redesigned course for one semester are presented and discussed.IntroductionOver the past three decades, many undergraduate engineering programs have sought to introducestudents to their chosen disciplines as early as possible, e.g., first semester of first year. There aremany reasons for this growing trend. The principal motivation is usually to keep studentsengaged and interested in their selected majors with the long-term goal of improving bothretention and graduation rates [1-3].A limited survey of the

severalreports [1], [2], [3], on Calculus curriculum renewal across the first two years in college. Theleading trends are clustered in three areas: • Calculus re-sequencing [4], [5] • Active learning methods [2], [6], [7], [8] • Applications from Engineering & Sciences [9], [10], [11], [12].Based on these suggestions, our goal is to create three “Engineering Math” tracks, each tailoredto different skill levels. The hope is that careful customization will enable all students tocomplete the calculus sequence (including both single-variable and multivariable) in twosemesters. These tracks are named Core Engineering Math I and II, Engineering Math I and II,and Honors Engineering Math I and II.The Honors track was launched in 2016-2017, and

This approach evolved through World War II and continued afterthat since scientists were increasingly coming to the forefront as inventors. The pendulum swunga bit too far from practical engineering, and it is now time to find the right balance. According toVest, “Students must learn how to conceive, design, implement and operate (CDIO) complexengineering systems of appropriate complexity.”1The last two-three decades have seen exponentially rapid

an unquestioned assumption that certain ways of knowing -- explicitly dominantepistemologies that involve specific mathematical procedures and scientific processes -- arerace-, gender-, and culture-free. In reality, education inherently prioritizes and privileges certainbodies of knowledge while marginalizing and excluding others. Within engineering, colonial,White, heterosexual, and male knowledge has historically been privileged over other ways ofknowing. Little recognition appears to exist that the ethnocentricity and masculinity of theengineering curricula affects problem definition and accepted methods of problem solving,teaching, and assessment [1].
