this problem. A fairly well-known approach, first proposed by faculty from Wright StateUniversity, involves teaching an Engineering Mathematics class to freshmen engineeringstudents. This class, typically taught by engineers (and not mathematicians), covers only thosetopics from the entire Calculus curriculum that are actually used in early engineering courses suchas Physics, Statics, Dynamics, Circuit Theory, etc. Passing this course allows students to continueinto freshmen and sophomore level engineering classes while they are still continuing to finishthe traditional sequence of Calculus courses. This class was recently added to the engineeringcurriculum at University of Detroit Mercy. In this paper the author will present the course

TheUniversity of Iowa, a pioneer in this area, has been successfully using a remotely operatedtelescope in their undergraduate curriculum for over a decade1. Middle and high school studentsthroughout the United States have shown significant gains in conceptual understanding of mathand science topics through use of the MicroObservatory2, a distributed network of automatedsmall telescopes. Access to such facilities is becoming more common as the hardware andsoftware required to build them becomes less expensive and more readily

One of theseis where the fellow does the majority of instruction for the class. Within this model there areseveral different approaches. The first is that the teacher tells the fellow they will have 20 minuteseach day to present an engineering topic to the class. The fellow prepares a lesson – trying to tieit in with what the class has been working on – and then presents it to the class.

difficulties caused by requiring students to enter calculus in their first semester have led tothe creation of several programs aimed at alleviating the hardship. One method presented byKlingbeil et al.3 reworks the curriculum to eliminate the need for calculus until the sophomoreyear through the addition of an engineering mathematics course. This solution does little toaddress the disparity among students and requires a multi-department, multi-college initiative toimplement. Thus, the implementation of this solution would be difficult at best. Anotherpopular method for addressing this issue is implementing a summer bridge program to eliminatedeficiencies in mathematical preparedness among incoming first-year students.
