Description
Summary:Mathematics education is an essential part of every engineering curriculum. The question of how much math should be included in an engineering curriculum is under discussion and the mathematics content has come under closer scrutiny with the aim of teaching engineers mathematical topics that have close practical relevance to their discipline at a time when those topics are most needed. This article discusses research that has led to the development of a new mathematics course that combines topics needed for better engineering studies. The course position within the curriculum is selected to provide just-in-time teaching to optimize effectiveness in engineering education.
