In 2005, Engineering with Precalculus (ENGR 110)was developed as a companion course to MATH 147, with the goals of increasing studentsuccess in precalculus, and promoting interest in engineering. The primary activity in ENGR110 is based upon a supplementary math tutorial program (ALEKSTM)4, which the students usewhile progressing through their precalculus course. In Fall 2006, interactive simulation modulesin the Working Model2DTM environment were introduced to the students in ENGR 110 on an adhoc basis5. At that time, a formal assessment of the effectiveness of the simulation modules wasnot conducted; however, student comments encouraged us to implement simulation modules on
