The Usefulness of Mathematics as Seen by Engineering Seniors By Elton Graves Rose-Hulman Institute of TechnologyAbstractDuring the academic years of 2001-2003 Rose-Hulman Institute of Technologyparticipated in a NSF sponsored project to determine The Impact of Calculus Reform onLong-term Student Performance. One component of this project was a questionnairewhich asked senior engineers about their view on mathematics. A second component ofthe study was a series of interviews held with graduating seniors. We obtained theirresponses to their calculus and engineering education. This report will focus on

. Despite industrial trends and employers’expectations, a gap exists between the mastery of teaming skills expected and thosedemonstrated by new engineering graduates. Employers expect college students to possess theseskills and often complain that college graduates have not learned the team approach to problemsolving.1 Employers, along with the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET),expect better preparation in these areas to be incorporated into the engineering curriculum at thecollege and university level. 1, 2 ABET stated in EC 2000, Criteria for Accrediting Programs,that one program outcome and assessment measure for engineering programs is to demonstratethat their graduates have an ability to function on multi

to take these ideas that are already there and make them better.” “I guess engineering would be defined as an innovation of products that we are looking – or problems we’re looking to solve and products that we already have to make them better and safer for everybody. I guess it can also be considered research and expansion to new, better ways to do different things that we look forward to doing.” Page 23.559.6 2.

Skills: How do students’ engineering skills and knowledge develop and/or change over time? How do the technological fluencies of engineering students compare with those found in professional engineering settings? What concepts are difficult for students to learn? How can we measure students' understanding of those concepts? Why are these concepts difficult to learn? 2. Identity: How do these students come to identify themselves

Data from U.S. students suggested that freshman-sophomoreundergraduate students did not use forward inferencing. In contrast to the U.S. data, students atan Indian Institute of Technology clearly used forward inferencing and showed that beginningundergraduate students can achieve the deep problem solving insight characteristic of experts.The U.S. and Indian data include quantitative and qualitative evidence.

Compared to number of studies on the impact of students’ college learningexperiences on their engineering identity, much fewer studies explored the impact ofstudents’ learning experiences in primary and secondary education on their engineeringidentity. Nevertheless, a few existing studies have explored students’ engagement inscience and technology learning activities and how such engagement can affect theirinterest in science and technology, students’ achievement/performance in science, theirchoices of majors, and science identity or STEM identity.

S. jobs are growing most rapidly in areas that require knowledge and skills stemming from a strong grasp of science, engineering, and technology. In some quarters – primarily information technology – business leaders are warning of a critical shortage in skilled American workers that is threatening their ability to compete in the global marketplace. Yet, if women, under-represented minorities, and persons with disabilities were represented in the U.
