ready for Calculus the following fallwithout the need for a summer course or delaying their studies unnecessarily.This Integrated Precalculus I course was offered as a pilot program in 2017 and has now beenoffered for three consecutive years. Only students in the STEM majors of engineering,economics, chemistry, computer science, kinesiology, and mathematics are currently allowed totake the course as they all require some sequence of mathematics that involves courses that areonly offered once a year. This is an ongoing project as we are still evaluating the course throughstudent success in subsequent mathematics courses, retention in the major and at the university,and time to complete the mathematics sequence. We are in phase one of conducting
