摘要：
The Extended Analytical Physics course at Rutgers University was crafted to improve learning in the first-year physics course for students mathematically under-prepared for engineering physics. It is a core course in the engineering curriculum and has contributed to the increase m success of underrepresented groups in physics and in subsequently in STEM majors. This article describes the evolution of this course, its current structure, die successes measured and the future plans.
