23.603.8fundamentals courses taken by all engineering freshmen, departmental courses, or mathematicscourses. To help make this determination, a similar survey is being developed and will soon beadministered to faculty of introductory mathematics courses at Ohio State. Exploring anymismatches in the perceptions and beliefs of the two groups of faculty is key to developing aneffective intervention.1 Bransford, J. D., Brown, A. L. & Cocking, R.

with the 2011 Sim´on Bolivar Award for Doctoral Thesis in Mathematics Education and with the National ANUIES Award for Doctoral Research related with Education at College in 2011. At present she is Member Level 1 of the National Researches System from CONACYT M´exico. She has been addressing several projects promoting the use of technology in the teaching of Calculus and the implications of such innovation on the learning of the fundamental ideas that this scientific discipline encourages. She has also been participating in the development of the Educational Model that Tecnol´ogico de Monterrey promotes through the design of the syllabi of the Mathematics Courses for Engineering and its distribution with the use of
