Some of the literature is beginning to outlineskills from mathematics, but the focus has been on identifying topics from the course and not onthe impact on engineering if a student does not possess these skills. For example, Gomes, Bolite,and Powell19 looked at assessing the mathematics skills necessary for a final course project. Theskills outlined were still framed using the taxonomy level outlined in Cardella’s work in 200716.Manseur, et al.’s work15 addressed the relationship between mathematics and engineering butfrom a curriculum

This general set-up was used for all types of planned tests. Current shunts wereinserted where measurements were needed and low-range digital voltmeters were placed acrossthe current shunts. High range digital voltmeters measured voltages directly. High-current,pneumatically-operated switches were used for circuit changes. Rotational speeds were read bystrobe lights; temperatures were read by attaching the transducers directly to the field windings.Armature temperatures were determined by voltmeter-ammeter methods with the armaturesstationary. c.)

Dirichlet, Cauchy, Cantor, Riemann, Weierstrass and others, in theirstudy of continuity and convergence of series, invented ingenious, counterintuitivecounterexamples and produced analytical techniques which culminated in Lebesgue’smagnificent theory of integration about 1906.During the 1700’s, developments in mathematical theory were dominated by Leonhard Euler.Euler had more mathematical insight, made more mathematical discoveries and had moremathematical fun than anyone else either before or since except maybe Erdos.
