Analysis MethodologyThe post-test scores for each unit taught were recorded for each student in the comparisonand treatment group and entered anonymously into a table of scores for that group. Thepost-test is the standard test used by the MCC DET department as an assessment tool forthe units of curriculum being taught. The DET department uses the test to evaluatestudents who wish to test out of a class for high school or work experience articulationpurposes. The post-test consists of multiple choice written questions, short answer, andperformance sections. Performance CAD modeling assessments were not used in thisstudy, because the performance involves a very time intensive CAD project for which thehigh school students were not sufficiently

In order to obtain a similar list from an educator’s point of view, foursenior faculty members in the department were asked to list the skills required of an engineeringprofessor. The results of their skills inventory were actually quite similar.

This study does not try to solve the complexand interconnected system of cognitive-rational and affective-emotional learning.

Schoenfeld 3 defines mathematical thinking as a culmination of an individual’s“mathematical knowledge, their ability to apply mathematical problem solving strategies, theeffective use of cognitive resources, having a mathematical perspective, and engaging inmathematical practices.” See Appendix A for a list of observable mathematical aspects.Engineering curriculum is largely designed around a core mathematics curriculum, whichtypically begins with Calculus and concludes with Differential equations.
