. TheMathematical Association of America has created a subcommittee on “Curriculum Renewalacross the First Two Years” (project CRAFTY) [1]. The MAA has also published a summary ofresults from the NSF-sponsored project [2] and two reports which focus on determining themathematical needs of partner disciplines [3]. Several new directions have emerged, and themost relevant ones can be grouped into three areas: Calculus re-sequencing [4] [5], activelearning methods [2] [6] [7] [8], and applications from engineering & sciences [9] [10] [11] [12].This paper discusses a calculus redesign project that is in progress in the School of Engineeringand Applied Sciences at the University of Virginia.

In 2007 the ABET accredited J.B. School of Engineering atthe University of Louisville formed a new department, with primary focus on first yearengineering education. The department teaches introduction to engineering, engineeringgraphics, and engineering mathematics courses, with the majority of student credit hours inengineering mathematics. Part of

If the proposed list of topics proved to be ambitious for the course,engineering faculty members were willing to cover some of the topics in subsequent requiredengineering classes. They felt strongly that the educational benefits provided by this course, asoutlined in the learning outcomes, discussed below, far outweighed the benefits of exposure to afew additional topics. This focus on deep understanding and application of concepts emphasizedthe important role pedagogy must play in the success of the new course. Therefore, theinstructional approach developed for the course was just as

For example, it is unlikely thatwe will be able to completely eliminate the three-semester sequence for the least-prepared. Also,our institution is considering other changes to the curriculum that might impact the feasibility ofmaintaining several different tracks.Our project was intended to better meet the needs of engineering students at our institution.

While the numericalsolution of linear partial differential equations is part of the standard EngineeringMathematics curriculum, the nonlinearity of the problem made it necessary to offersupplementary lectures in order to bridge the

Second, thecomponent was designed to be an introduction to Matlab, such that students would have therequisite skills to use Matlab in future courses or to solve their own problems. Prior to this AEMcourse the students in the ECE program have little or no exposure to Matlab or any otherscientific or engineering computational software. This component thus allowed the students tolearn a new “tool” for problem solving through the power of numeric analysis.In the literature, there is a vast amount of work which has described the use of Matlab in theundergraduate engineering curriculum.

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

Project assignments should be formulated in such away that the students are encouraged to work on them through independent research, bothindividually and in teams. This would provide students with practical real-world experiencesearly on in their education and with a useful training in participatory skills.At the Institute of Automotive Engineering at Joanneum University of Applied Sciences wehave implemented project-based learning (PBL) environments since around the turn of thecentury [4].

They follow a prescribed approach to obtain ananswer, often times never pausing to think if or why the approach works. They can calculate s,and don’t question what the given V represents. While having a prescribed approach can aid indemystifying problem solving for apprehensive students and may increase productivity (in thatno time is spent thinking), such procedural approaches perpetuate the general mindset that mathand other STEM subjects are a ‘bag of tricks’ rather than a means of critical thinking. Thiscomplication became apparent while Dr. Brooks was formally enrolled in

While teacherscan enhance their knowledge of new teaching strategies through attending STEM workshops ator outside of their school, current textbooks fail to include authentic engineering examples andthus offer little to no support to teachers. Also, few textbooks offer content that fostermathematical perseverance and literacy. Instead, these texts prefer to stampede on withoutclarification on algebraic or conceptual steps that may be ambiguous to students. With thesepoints in mind, a math textbook which integrates engineering at a practical and understandablelevel would be immensely valuable as teachers strive to satisfy the new
