Its application is carried beyond the numerical methods course and into coreengineering classes, e.g. strength of materials, fluid mechanics, and engineering testlaboratories. As the case study has shown, MATHCAD enables students to reinforcetheir knowledge of the underlying mathematics behind the numerical method. With aversatile combination of graphical display, symbolic processing, and user-definedcomputer programs, MATHCAD augments the student’s experience base which is a vitalcomponent for their future careers in solving complex engineering problems.References1 C.

At macroscales, forces within a continuumcan be represented by the second-rank Cauchy stress tensor σ, and the equation of motion canbe expressed as ∇ ⋅ σ + F = ρ u && . For isotropic linear elastic solids, symmetry considerationscome into play and lead to the Navier-Cauchy equation with the two Lamè parameters thatexpress the empirical details about the material response to strain. These continuum modelequations work despite the fact that they completely ignore small scales or atomistic details.The question arises why the continuum models work on the macroscale, and what is therelationship between the

the context of engineering situationsthat students will encounter in other engineering classes. This course is used as the prerequisitefor early engineering courses such as Physics I and II, Statics, Dynamics, Circuit Theory,Mechanics of Materials, etc. Thus, students who are successful in this Engineering Mathematicscourse are allowed to move onto some of the early engineering courses. They are still required tofinish the Calculus Sequence but essentially have four years to do so. Once students are able totake some of the early engineering classes and are successful, their motivation to continue inengineering is increased and they are then more likely to finish the program. Calculus does notact as a filter either. Wright State’s experience

Education, 2006 The Roadmap of Arithmetic: Summing it upAbstractNotice this problem of human consciousness. Ideas and concepts enter our mind one at a time.Usually teachers and authors have the entire course content in their minds before they begin acourse or write a text. However, a student can only confront one idea at a time and so the coursecontent is arranged sequentially, one topic after another, one word after another. It is then left tothe student to construct in his mind the best arrangement of the material. We must accept thatcourses and texts are sequentially ordered. Pages are numbered. A student, when confronted bya particularly difficult part of the text, may set the text aside never to see the remainder of

insights in how studentconfidence relates to achieving student learning outcomes. In 2017, an internal assessment studywas conducted in the Engineering Mathematics classroom at the United States Military Academy(USMA), specifically to investigate the effects of confidence on performance. The intent of theexperience was to determine if one may identify alternative measures of assessment for studentperformance. Several student categories were identified analogous to the groups described in theSocratic Paradox, i.e. based upon a student’s assessment on whether they know or do not knowthe material. In the following section, background information on the course and the studentenvironment are given. Then, in section 3, a review of the pedagogical

Based on similar experiences that were gained and assessedmultiple times by the author in other engineering related subjects (Control Systems, DigitalSignal Processing, Computer Algorithms, Mechanical engineering, Calculus, and Physics), it isbelieved that the approach has great potential.
