classAbstract: A redesigned engineering math sequence was implemented from fall 2016 to spring2020, and the study focused on data collected during fall 2018 and spring 2019 from a singleclass with a sample size of 25. The results of the study suggest that the redesigned sequencepositively impacted students' material mastery, communication, collaboration, andmetacognition. Although the sample size was small, and the results were not statisticallysignificant, it was found that students' view of math and perception of their preparedness mayplay a role in their participation and how they interact with the material, with peers, and with theinstructor and TAs.Keywords: engineering math, Calculus, active learning, redesignIntroductionCore curriculum for

districts[3], high school students had varied learning experiences during this time. ecent work has shown that the pandemic significantly affected student test scores. Kuhfeld etRal. used test scores from 5.4 million students between grades 3 and 8 to measure achievement differences in math and reading from before the pandemic to Fall 2020 and Fall 2021. They found that students' math scores dropped more than their reading scores compared to Fall 2019. The gaps were significantly larger for students from low-socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds and underrepresented minorities[10].This aligns with reports from the early pandemic that showed that the effects of school closures could exacerbate achievement gaps
