Many students who switch away from an engineering major cite math, specifically calculus, as one of the most influential factors in that decision. This paper presents a method to improve engineering student persistence and learning in calculus without any changes in the current calculus curriculum. The proposed method combines the integration of real world engineering problems into existing Calculus II courses and engineering mentors to help students to solve calculus problems. The implementation of this method was achieved through a pilot study administered to undergraduate engineering students enrolled in a Calculus II course at a mid-size research institution in the Midwest. The results of the pilot show that engineering problems helped the student participants to learn calculus. Students benefited from working closely with their peers and their mentors in the Calculus II course, and they felt more connected to other students in math and/or engineering.

Abstract This paper presents a method for allowing calculus taught by mathematics faculty to be augmented with real-world engineering problems. The method relies on modules to deliver the problems and required background information. Students complete the modules outside of class and discuss them in mentor-led sessions. To encourage participation, students receive a 5% extra credit for attending the discussions having attempted the modules. The results of the study show that, on average, more than 90% of students enjoy the modules or are indifferent to them. The majority of students also found that the modules better prepared them for success in calculus. Moreover, the engineering content was useful in helping students feel connected to engineering.
