Bridge Programs for Engineering Calculus Success
Page: 1712
Mathematics is often the gatekeeper for students aspiring for a college degree in any field. A precalculus bridge program to improve success in the engineering calculus sequence was initiated at Texas A&M University in summer of 2010. Students who placed into precalculus were offered the program. The program was revised and additional bridges were added. Surveys were administered to examine student beliefs about college level mathematics expectations and requirements. Overall, the programs benefited hundreds of students.
