AB  - This work seeks to delineate the perceived and actual contributions to software and programming skills in undergraduate engineering students by mathematics and engineering departments, respectively. Engineering faculty in mechanical, electrical, chemical, and computer engineering reported in the authors' recently conducted study that undergraduate students lacked expected software knowledge and programming skills upon entry into core engineering courses. These reports parallel instances in the literature in which engineering faculty cite inadequate student preparation within the mathematics portion of the curriculum, not only in conceptual mathematical understanding, but in capacity for leveraging industry-critical mathematical software. The study in progress collected data on the types of mathematical software and/or programming platforms to which undergraduate engineering students are exposed in the mathematics courses of their degree programs. Online open-ended surveys were administered to students enrolled in an ABET accredited engineering program in the contexts of differential equations and numerical analysis courses. The structure of the institution is such that the engineering and mathematics departments are in separate colleges while sharing a few conjoint (cross-listed) courses. Survey items probed the perceived integration of mathematical (instructional) content with the demonstration or use of each software or programming platform, the extent to which students actually engaged with (did projects with) the software/programming tool, the extent to which the students’ engagement with the software/programming tool was based on problems perceived as relevant to their engineering track or future career, and the extent to which the software used in the mathematics courses was considered by the students to be industry-critical.
