students completely new material, but rather to reinforce familiarconcepts through additional practice and tutorial instruction.While some students who have low math placements eventually do not graduate because theysimply did not have the mathematical aptitude to succeed in math-intensive disciplines, anequally important factor is that low math placement delays the student’s ability to takeengineering and computer science courses. The curricula in the college have been designed withmost courses expecting a Calculus background, and that students should begin their freshmanyear by taking Calculus I. If the students have to wait a semester or a year or more to takeCalculus I, it is more difficult to maintain the students’ interest in engineering or

Our Adaptation and Use of Manufacturing SimulationsIn the fall semester of 1996, three of the authors (RJ, MAS, JPO’C), became interested in usingclassroom simulations as one experience in the UVa Professional Development Program 4 forbeginning students in Engineering Design. We approached Aviat, a subsidiary of ORIONInternational in Ann Arbor, MI, about trying their manufacturing simulation, Paper Planes, Inc.,which was created by W.C. Musselwhite for business use.

This course is unique as it is a core requirement for both ceramic andmaterials engineering (CME) majors as well as bioengineering (BioE) majors. This course isusually taught by faculty from the School of Materials Science and Engineering, with the vastmajority of students being CME students. In 2004, a new undergraduate Bioengineering majorwas introduced, and the composition of the class shifted rapidly to a majority of BioE students.A rising drop rate (approaching 50% among the new BioE students) warranted a re-examinationof the course
