Two Years of Teaching an Integrated Mechanics and Calculus I Course within an NSF S-STEM Project at Penn State Abington

This presentation reflects on two years of implementing an integrated PHYS 211 (General Physics: Mechanics) and MATH 140 (Calculus I) curriculum within the NSF S-STEM project "Integrating the Teaching of Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering Courses to Improve Retention of Engineering Students at Penn State Abington." We will discuss the evolution of the course, key pedagogical strategies, student feedback-driven refinements, challenges encountered, and areas for future improvement.
