- Exploring and developing a shared understanding of the issues surrounding engineering mathematicsPublication . Bilbao, J.; Bravo, E.; García, O.; Rebollar, C.; Varela, C.; Uukkivi, A.; Labanova, O.; Latõnina, Marina; Safiulina, E.; Cellmer, Anna; Cymerman, Joanna; Kierkosz, Igor; Brown, K.; Kelly, G.; Paula Lopes, Ana; Baptista Soares, Filomena; Bocanet, V.; Rusu, F.Abstract: - Although Mathematics is a pillar which many of the subjects of any Engineering degree are based on, and in spite of being used as a tool in almost all of such subjects, it is sometimes difficult for students to assimilate the mathematical concepts. Since this relationship between Engineering and Mathematics is unavoidable, a consortium of universities from different countries is working on a project, EngiMath, to, on the one hand, make it easier for teachers to teach Mathematics in the first years of Engineering degrees; and, on the other hand, to promote study from a “student-centric” point of view. As a previous step to the development of educational material that fulfills these purposes, a study of the students' feelings about Mathematics and their experience in studying them has been carried out.
