A shocking percentage of these students do not make it to their second yearwithin their chosen engineering discipline, either switching majors or leaving the universityentirely. Dr. Nathan Klingbeil of Wright State University first observed that, traditionally, only42% of engineering or computer science majors at Wright State advance beyond first-yearcalculus classes to seek their degrees 1. Thus, in an effort to improve student retention, in 2004WSU under the care of Dr. Klingbeil developed a mathematics education model which is Page 22.585.2designed to incorporate a new introductory math course into the engineering curriculum

Introduction ] For the third time this century there is a revival of general education . This revival of generaleducation is resulting in an increase in both the quantity and quality of general education. The changes aremore than breadth and depth, however, as they encompass several elements including the integration of zideas from a variety of fields .

With this integrated approach to presenting the material, it became a naturalfit for the ABET 2000 requirements on social impact, ethics and economics. In responseto industry concerns that engineering students were becoming applied physicists insteadof engineers, MIT revamped its undergraduate curriculum. The result of a two-yearoverhaul was the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) educational initiative.Emphasis is towards hands-on learning.
