Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Redesigned Application Oriented Integral Calculus CurriculumAbstractThis paper presents the development of an application based curriculum for an integral calculuscourse, a project funded by the KEEN Foundation. Textbook examples are frequentlydisconnected from students’ immediate environment or use past data of little interest. In addition,information given on the subject is at most sketchy and the practical purpose of solving theseexamples is not clear. This lack of vivid applications in calculus courses motivated us to developcontent that can be used by instructors to enhance students’ learning experience by engagingthem directly in solving problems and applying attained skills to real life

This approach is based upon WPI's project-based style ofeducation, one that employs the engineering approach to problem solving broadly across thesciences and mathematics.This project oriented curriculum, introduced over 30 years ago at WPI, has facilitated a majorchange in mathematics education. In the past ten years WPI faculty have developed a successfulmodel that introduces real-world, industrial, projects in mathematics education, at all levels frommiddle school to the Ph.D. program and faculty research.

Enhancing Interdisciplinary Interactions in the College of Engineering and Natural SciencesIntroduction and Project GoalsA team of faculty members in the College of Engineering and Natural Sciences at The Universityof Tulsa (TU) began work in July 2004 on a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Course,Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement (CCLI) Project (Proposal # 0410653). This two-yearproject was based on the use of Interdisciplinary Lively Application Projects (ILAPs)1 as avehicle for strengthening connections among science, engineering, and mathematicsdepartments2. The concept of ILAPs originated from a consortium of 12 schools led by theUnited States Military Academy (USMA) with an NSF funded project, Project

, computer engineering, or electrical engineering (CS). The initial two years of the project focused on the design and piloting of academic support components to improve student success rates in mathematics and computer science gateway courses that provide a foundation for subsequent success in upper division CS courses leading to an undergraduate degree. Working in collaboration with state colleges, this paper overviews the design and piloting of the project mentor support model including the project gateway course refinement component that provides the setting for mentor utilization. Discussed is the role of the mentor component in relation to other key project components.Lower division

Unfortunately, thisliterature does not appear to exist and this will be a focus for additional work. However, severalpapers provide guidance in structuring research questions and research hypotheses related tocontent investigation. These papers may provide a context for future changes,Klingbeil et al.7 studied an alternative curricular approach based on a funded NSF project. Thiscurricular restructuring focused on preparation for topics in the calculus sequence. Toaccomplish this, they proposed a five-credit course to prepare for calculus. Topics in this courseinclude: Algebraic manipulations

The purpose of the curriculum taught in this week long course is to demonstrate thata mathematical approach based on the tournament seeds rather than individual team performancecan yield a viable solution to understanding the likelihood of unexpected results.Day 2: The Math behind the Numbers The purpose of this paper is to focus on classroom implementation rather than themathematical theory. Therefore, the reader is referred to the work by Jacobson et al.1 for an in-depth explanation of the underlying theory. However, to not disappoint those in search of asymbolic expression, the following theorem is key to modeling the advancement of seeds
