Abstract
The College of Engineering at Boise State is developing ways to support the engineering student who is under-prepared in math. A new version of the required Introduction to Engineering course has been created, with a grant from the Hewlett Foundation. At Boise State, Introduction to Engineering is a module based course, intended to introduce the student to the profession of engineering and provide hands-on activities that reinforce the material learned in calculus and chemistry as well as provide an introduction to the professional skills required of engineers. A new class, Introducing Engineering, was designed for students enrolled in Pre-Calculus and substitutes for the Introduction to Engineering requirement.
