Such is the approach adopted by Wright State University and a growing number of institutions across the country, which are now enjoying significant increases not only in engineering student retention but also in engineering student performance in their first required calculus course.
Alternatively, this book would make an ideal reference for any freshman engineering program. Its organization is highly compartmentalized, which allows instructors to pick and choose which math topics and engineering applications to cover.
Thus, any institution wishing to increase engineering student preparation and motivation for the required calculus sequence could easily integrate selected topics into an existing freshman engineering course without having to find room in the curriculum for additional credit hours. Finally, this book would provide an outstanding resource for nontraditional students returning to school from the workplace, for students who are undecided or are considering a switch to engineering from another major, for math and science teachers or education majors seeking physical contexts for their students, or for upper-level high school students who are thinking about studying engineering in college.
For all of these students, this book represents a onestop shop for how math is really used in engineering. Do you like this book? Please share with your friends, let's read it!! Search Ebook here:.
