Abstract

An interactive online tutorial program (ALEKS) was the focus of an engineering course created to increase the success of engineering students in a Precalculus class. Engineering students were embedded in two Precalculus courses with other students. An assessment rubric for measuring the effect of ALEKS on Precalculus grades of engineering students was developed and tested. While some of the results were not statistically significant, ALEKS was shown to have a generally positive effect on the math grades of students enrolled in the engineering course.
