Stu-dents are aware that, while good math skills can be an essential component of their engineeringeducation, lack of preparation in math can be a barrier [3]. At Tennessee Tech University, the ex-pectation is that a student will begin their studies prepared to take Calculus I in their first semes-ter. However, nearly 50% of students enroll in pre
