Motivation and Goals: Only about 42% of incoming freshmen who wish to pursue an engineering or computer science degree at Wright State University ever complete the required calculus sequence. The remaining 58% either switch majors or leave the University. These numbers are typical of mid-size state universities in Ohio and across the country. It is proposed herein that retention rates in engineering and computer science could (and should) be much higher. To this end, the proposed research seeks to redefine the way engineering mathematics is taught, with the goal of increasing student retention, motivation and success in engineering.
