In this paper, we describe the results obtained from two groups offirst-year engineering students selected for the case study. These students were enrolled in acourse titled The Impact of modern technologies on society, which also fulfills the social andbehavioral sciences core curriculum requirement at the institution. The course was conducted at aHispanic-Serving Institution with a

inclusive learning environment.Other General Instructional Approaches. The use of classroom response systems in teachinglinear algebra, as explored by Cline et al. [72], represents a notable technological advancement ineducation. These systems enable real-time electronic feedback from students, facilitating theidentification of conceptual misunderstandings. Through analyzing 781 responses across variousinstitutions, the study highlights the effectiveness of challenging and theoretically focusedquestions in stimulating classroom discussion. Those questions, which prioritize interpretationover calculation, prove instrumental in enhancing student engagement and understanding,offering a valuable approach to teaching linear algebra to engineering

Such a restriction could impair students' ability to approach engineering challenges in various sectors with flexibility or to adapt to new technologies. • Assessment and Evaluation: Evaluating students' competencies in both programming and mathematical analysis introduces a layer of complexity to the grading process. It may become challenging for educators to discern if students' difficulties arise from programming, understanding mathematical principles, or integrating both. This complexity risks masking the true nature of students' learning challenges, potentially complicating the provision of effective support. 3. Course Overview:The "Mathematical Analysis" course at
