Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Redesigned Application Oriented Integral Calculus CurriculumAbstractThis paper presents the development of an application based curriculum for an integral calculuscourse, a project funded by the KEEN Foundation. Textbook examples are frequentlydisconnected from students’ immediate environment or use past data of little interest. In addition,information given on the subject is at most sketchy and the practical purpose of solving theseexamples is not clear. This lack of vivid applications in calculus courses motivated us to developcontent that can be used by instructors to enhance students’ learning experience by engagingthem directly in solving problems and applying attained skills to real life

Creating and delivering content to enhance these skills, as well as evaluation, remain open problems. This paper describes two different interventions based on the Scratch programming language which aim to improve student self-efficacy in computer science and computational thinking. The two interventions were applied at a STEM outreach program for 5th-9th grade students. Previous experience in
