Based on the results of the present paper, the authors concurred that continuousassessment and evaluation of engineering students on their math preparation throughout theirundergraduate study is essential. Therefore, more assessment and evaluation on higher mathtopics such as differential equations and statistics will be conducted in junior and senior levelengineering courses.Bibliography1.
