Our Introducing Engineering Through Mathematics project, funded by theNational Science Foundation (EEC - 212101), introduces entry level algebra students to simpleyet valuable engineering problems and applications which can be solved using algebra.The development of the curriculum is a collaboration among UMBC faculty and students, localmiddle-school and high-school teachers, UMBC’s Center for Women and InformationTechnology and the Maryland State Department of Education. Many students fail to recognizethe importance of algebra in their lives when only exposed to simple applications of algebra (twotrains traveling in opposite directions, the eastbound train travels at

the course segment on the classification of critical points. In particularstudents should learn how to locate critical points graphically, by studying fields of gradientvectors and plots of level curves; formally, by solving explicitly for the zeroes of the gradient;and numerically, when formal solutions are infeasible. They should also learn to interpret theclassification theorem verbally and graphically. The computations needed to locate the zeroes ofthe gradient of a function are almost always difficult, so it helps enormously to have thecomputer help solve equations. But a complete analysis of an example is a multi-step procedure,and, if it is all done on a computer, the procedure requires the use of many commands andthoughtful evaluation
