Typically, at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, mass transport is taught in arequired junior level course, requiring differential equations related to fluid dynamics.One specific topic of interest is the transport of mass through a porous medium, modeled byDarcy’s Law.

All of these skills are important to being a practicing engineer. Everyone in the classapproached ill-structured problems; the result of their math methods is not necessarily indicativeof the highest math knowledge. Having entry-level students solve exciting, complex designproblems through an engineering perspective can perhaps even encourage them to stay in themajor and complete all the math requirements.LimitationsWhile this study provides insights into how early-stage undergraduates approach math in designchallenges, it is limited to data from a relatively small sample size.
