as teamwork, ethics,and the benefits of diversity, and capstone courses that seek to integrate work through teamprojects, many of the mathematics based courses still teach in a passive manner. Formulas arepresented to students, a few example problems are solved, and students practice by doinghomework. An assessment of student learning is to solve similar problems on an exam.However, what is generally not assessed is a student’s understanding of the very formulas thatare employed. In fact, students can perform quite well on such exams with very littleunderstanding at all.At its core, engineering is the application of mathematics and science to solve practical problemsof the human race. That is, at its core, engineering is not just problem
