technologies currently being developed hasprofound implications for engineering education. Our students have to face increasinglycomplex adaptive systems organized in recursive, nonlinear feedback loops. A morepronounced attention to nonlinear systems could thus enable our students to understand notonly the usefulness but also the limits of linearity, and facilitate the comprehension of morecomplex systems. This is especially true for mathematics, as differential equations play afundamental role in the modeling and analysis of complex systems.Courses in ordinary differential equations are part of the majority of undergraduateengineering curricula, and typically cover analytical solution methods for first-order andlinear higher-order differential

Society for Engineering Education, 2020Introduction The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [24] Technology Principle states that“[t]echnology is essential in teaching and learning mathematics; it influences the mathematics thatis taught and enhances student learning’’ (p. 24). Indeed, prior research suggests that integratingappropriate forms of technology into mathematics classrooms supports students’ learningexperiences [9, 11, 24], enhances student attitudes towards the subject of mathematics [2, 9] andbrings real-world problems into the classroom for students to explore and solve [18, 29]. This canbe done by creating an environment that promotes understanding, rather than memorization,through visualizations [5, 24], automated

Various scholars have emphasized thatdispositions and beliefs must be studied in order to fully understand the development ofmathematical problem-solving ability5,6. Studies have shown that many K-12 and collegestudents come to believe that mathematics is a rule-driven, linear, solitary, school-only activity,in which problems have one correct solution that should be quickly evident and where trueunderstanding requires special talent 4,7. This counterproductive view can intimidate anddiscourage students and filter them out of science, technology, engineering, and mathematical(STEM) fields2,8,9. Acknowledging this problem, mathematics
