- Bringing Mathematics to Engineering: Online Learning-Teaching ModelPublication . Bilbao, J.; Bravo, E.; Garcia, 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; Feniser, Cristina; Bocanet, V.; Rusu, F.Engineering and Mathematics are closely related, the latter being a fundamental tool and being also at the base of many, if not all, of the processes employed in the former one. Engineering in turn is a source of application for those mathematical concepts that are, sometimes, difficult to understand by undergraduate students in universities. Precisely, so that this relationship can be more fluid and comfortable for students in Higher Education, a group of European universities have teamed up around a project called EngiMath -Mathematics on-line learning model in Engineering education.
- 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.
