The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) and the Mathematics Association of America (MAA) have called for changes in the content and methodology of mathematics education. Industry is also calling for changes—changes in the product. Industry want graduates who can think critically, communicate effectively, and solve problems using a variety of tools. This paper discusses the experiences of the author as faculty in his department have begun to implement standards-based changes to curriculum and changes in pedagogy designed to produce students who can be successful whether they decide to enter industry or to continue their education. Included is information about three National Science Foundation grants that have provided support for the process.
