the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.(a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.The craft of engineering requires the direct application of mathematics, science, and technologycontent and skills. While technology is not included in ABET 3-(a) it appeared frequently in theliterature in relation to K-12 engineering education, meriting the addition of technology to thisdiscussion. Two main themes emerged from the literature. The first key point is that the STEMdisciplines overlap and are fundamentally related. Furthermore, it was argued that addingengineering concepts and projects to mathematics, science, and technology curricula havebenefits for both

First-Year Programs

andmathematics over the next decade2.Like the rest of the country, Boise State University has implemented research projectsand initiatives to study and improve mathematics success among engineering students,with particular emphasis on freshman retention. An engineering professor who has ledseveral of these initiatives decided to experience freshman-level calculus firsthand by re-taking Calculus 1 nearly 30 years after her own freshman days. Her instructor was thechair of the mathematics department, a professor with whom she has collaborated onnumerous research projects. The evidence presented in this paper is based on the Page 25.267.2experiences of these two

There is aneed to bring together relevant practice, and there is a need to experiment. In terms of theorganization of the curriculum and the need for mixed learning communities the need fordivergent visioning is great.Acknowledgements.I am deeply indebted to Dr Alec Martin who introduced me to the works of John Macmurraywhen he was the responsible official in the UK Employment Department for our project on theanalysis of jobs done by engineers.
