DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/ESME/68/">A 
 New Math Sequence for First Year Engineering Students at the University of
  Michigan</a>\nby Karen Smith (University of Michigan) as part of Online S
 eminar On Undergraduate Mathematics Education\n\nInteractive livestream: h
 ttps://cornell.zoom.us/j/92415199317\n\nAbstract\nAfter the College of Eng
 ineering completed a self-study about math preparation for their programs\
 , our Math Department was invited to create two new courses that are expec
 ted to become the core for all first year engineering students. The first 
 is a linear algebra course and the second a condensed calculus course that
  combines ideas from our current Calc I–Calc II sequence\, emphasizes a 
 “numerical” perspective (as opposed to analytic)\, incorporates more m
 odern engineering applications\, and recognizes that over 95% of Michigan 
 engineering students have prior exposure to calculus from high school. Aft
 er a full year of discussions and development\, the sequence will debut in
  pilot form this fall. This talk will discuss the factors leading to this 
 sequence of events and how we have begun this reform in collaboration with
  Engineering.\n
