The result was the development of an introductory applied mathematics course, whichfocuses on the use of math in engineering courses. Material from this research initiative is taughtin a new engineering course titled “Introduction to Engineering Problem Solving” and is taughtin parallel with the precalculus math course, which is the prerequisite for calculus.Beyond the need to provide academic support is to facilitate the engagement of students with thatsupport. To improve engagement, the first step was the introduction of a welcome luncheonbefore the beginning of the Fall semester, allowing the students to meet other incoming studentsas well

The teachereducation community is limited in its understanding of how novice teachers of elementarystudents learn to teach engineering. Research is needed to inform a new model for preparing pre-service elementary teachers to teach engineering.For elementary school teachers, preparation in engineering
