these examples, bearing in mind the initial differences in their programmingproficiency. Their use was still found stimulating.Rationale for the study – The context of mathematics in engineering educationDesigning engineering education with mathematics and physics in the first two years of theprogram is not a law of nature. 4 It can hardly be argued that abstract mathematics is taught in theinitial stages of programs for pedagogical reasons. Rather, such a design reflects a Tayloristicview of industrial production transferred to education where context-free bits and pieces aredispensed by specialists to be assembled to a coherent whole in the end. 5 Most engineeringteachers claim that they need to build on a ”solid” mathematics and science base
