In order for undergraduate Cadets to be successful in engineering programs,they need a solid foundation in mathematics. A UK study in 2008 showed that out of 14 factors associatedwith success of first year engineering Cadets, the top three were related to mathematics (Lee).Additionally, in a more recent study, researchers found that mathematics can be a barrier for completingan engineering degree – Cadets who performed better in mathematics courses tended to perform better inengineering (Tsui).
