partial credit.A quasi-experimental study of CAESR4PC in linear algebra for engineeringIn the summer of 2019, CAESR4PC was implemented for the first time in Linear Algebra forEngineering, a two-credit hour course for engineering students taught at a large researchInstitution in the Midwest. To determine the impact of this innovative pedagogical practice,student performance was compared to the prior year (2018) in which essay-style exams wereused. The same instructor taught the course in both years, used the same book, and implementedthe same flipped course structure. The remainder of this paper is dedicated to describing themethodological details and results from this initial implementation study.ParticipantsAll students who were enrolled in

retention resulted in an equivalent raw number ofstudents retained in the spring of 2021 when compared to the spring of 2019 and an increasefrom the spring of 2018. This drastic increase in the freshman retention rate illustrates anincrease in freshman student success in mathematics courses (calculus) as well as appliedmathematics courses (physics and statics). In comparison, the ASEE “Engineering by theNumbers” survey indicated that the overall student persistence to the second year was around80% in 2014 [17].What the above quantitative data fails to effectively convey are students’ attitudes towardmathematics.

This concern withengineering student retention has pointed to many issues including the early math requirements,specifically, Calculus I. Calculus I has often been referred to as a “bottle-neck” course for anyengineering degree program, which implies that if a student can successfully

This raises thequestion of whether the course should be a mathematics course, an engineering course, ora hybrid. It has been argued [1], with supporting results, that the teaching of differentialequations through the modeling of physical and chemical phenomena is effective becauseit allows students to overcome the cognitive
