AB  - Math preparation and progress continue to be roadblocks for incoming undergraduate engineering students, with each college or university addressing these issues in its own manner. At Virginia Military Institute, the Civil Engineering faculty advisers consistently work with cadets to progress in the math curriculum, maintain proper sequence with the Civil Engineering degree program, and ultimately graduate on time.  Culminating in Differential Equations, students begin the math sequence in Pre-Calculus or begin at a higher level of math if they score well on the math placement test or transfer credits from high school. The four-year graduation plan requires students to enter ready to take Calculus I; however, almost half are only prepared for Pre-calculus and are forced to catch up on math.  Even with pre-requisites in the curriculum and established math tutoring resources, math progress continues to be an issue and one of the main reasons students discontinue the program.  This paper aims to address why math preparation and progress continue to be an issue at Virginia engineering programs and what solutions exist to overcome deficiencies.  This study will focus on 1) the math sequences for engineering students at undergraduate engineering programs in Virginia, 2) the standards of learning used by Virginia high schools and when students typically meet these standards, and 3) the programs in place that help students gain math skills to be successful at Virginia undergraduate engineering schools.
