and their combinations. Not only was function redefined, but inaddition, continuity, differentiability and integration were consequently defined in terms ofdeltas and epsilons. For the working mathematician, this approach was right. It was fantasticallysuccessful in promoting the development of new mathematics. General techniques weredeveloped that worked for all kinds of wild combinations of functions by applying essentially thesame definitions and mechanisms of proof.Nonetheless these definitions took the focus of calculus away from intuitive smooth curves.These 19th century definitions were and continue to be meaningless for many students andtherefore it is time for the STEM community to re-examine the effect on the students of

Incorporating information literacy skills into a curriculumor specific course, in an organized manner, is difficult. The ABET standards for informationliteracy highlight the importance of including this instruction in the engineering curriculum. Atnumerous institutions, the individual instructor determines how and when this is accomplished.For many instructors, there is not enough time in the academic calendar to do all that is required.Consequently, information literacy skills maybe mentioned in passing or completely eliminatedto make room for other topics in the syllabus.

that this approach reachedtwo pools of faculty: those most engaged in teaching who chose to engage with the teachingcenter and those who were really struggling with teaching and needed significant assistance.Adding teaching workshops for new faculty leveraged their desire to excel at a time they werewilling to learning research-informed good practices. However, these efforts rarely reached theestablished teachers whose courses could benefit from incorporating more research-informedteaching methods, but who did not typically engage with a teaching center.

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
