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

Through the grant, Wright College created a holistic and programmaticframework that examines and correlates engineering students' self-efficacy (the belief that students willsucceed as engineers) and a sense of belonging with student success. The project focuses on Near-STEMready students (students who need up to four semesters of math remediation before moving into Calculus1).

Their study found that“problem areas like qualitative reasoning, analogy, and creativity are ignored in favor of ones that are more easilyformalized” [31]. Promoting critical thinking and creativity through interdisciplinary approaches to problem-solvingcan set the basis for qualitative reasoning beyond quantitative analyses. It also allows for deeper reasoning on theinterplays between society and technology.These findings echo Mishra and Siy, who warned that “a Computer Science centric

BackgroundSince the publication of the Green Report in 19961 there has been a strong push withinengineering education practice and research to better prepare engineering graduates for the socio-technical world in which engineers are embedded. Surprisingly, this drive to better alignengineering education with the socio-technical world began many decades earlier with theCarnegie Foundation's 1918 publication of A Study of Engineering Education2. In spite of theeffort in recent years to operationalize the student learning of the necessary competencies (e. g.through ABET outcomes3) there is a disconnect between what students learn in engineering, Page
