Pedagogicallymotivated design would have integrated mathematics with applications subjects to partlyout-design motivation and contextualization problems.Much of the research in mathematics in engineering education takes for granted the traditionaldesign of engineering education with mathematics courses in the first year. The aim of theresearch is then to alleviate learning problems created by the traditional design itself and thealienation of mathematics from the application fields. There is a substantial difference betweenteaching mathematics to future mathematicians and to engineering students. 6 Alternative designslike problem-based and some project-based learning integrate mathematics with engineeringsubjects to provide a context for mathematics. 7The

This perspective is part of a broaderproject in the social sciences over the past several decades, a project that explores howboth persons and forms of social organization are constituted through social practice.Among the major aims of this work has been to challenge conceptions of culture as astable and relatively unproblematic body of knowledge that is transmitted from onegeneration to the next. Instead, culture is seen as a dynamic process in which humanagents create meaning by drawing on cultural forms as they act in social and materialcontexts; in so doing people produce themselves and others as certain kinds of culturallylocated persons while at the same time reproducing
