In the Wright State Model,engineering students take this new engineering course, which is intended for calculus-readystudents, during their first semester. Then, they can take several engineering courses while theyconcurrently complete a traditional four-course mathematics sequence in calculus anddifferential equations. In its first iteration, over 80% of the students successfully completed thenew engineering course (earning a grade of ‘A’, ‘B’, or ‘C’), compared with around 42% of thestudents who, based on performance in prior years, successfully completed the first-year calculussequence at Wright State7.

The potential importance of such a distinction could be demonstrated bydescribing to the students two groups who conducted human reaction time experiments using amicrocontroller and LED stimulus: Group A averaged 146ms reaction time, with a standarddeviation of 36ms, whereas Group B averaged only 27ms, with a 10ms standard deviation.
