MODERN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION FOR ENGINEERING CU...

This open access book provides a comprehensive overview of the core subjects comprising
mathematical curricula for engineering studies in five European countries and identifies
differences between two strong traditions of teaching mathematics to engineers. The collective
work of experts from a dozen universities critically examines various aspects of higher
mathematical education. The two EU Tempus-IV projects ¿ MetaMath and MathGeAr ¿ investigate the
current methodologies of mathematics education for technical and engineering disciplines. The
projects aim to improve the existing mathematics curricula in Russian  Georgian and Armenian
universities by introducing modern technology-enhanced learning (TEL) methods and tools  as
well as by shifting the focus of engineering mathematics education from a purely theoretical
tradition to a more applied paradigm. MetaMath and MathGeAr have brought together mathematics
educators  TEL specialists and experts in education quality assurance form 21 organizations
across six countries. The results of a comprehensive comparative analysis of the entire
spectrum of mathematics courses in the EU  Russia  Georgia and Armenia has been conducted  have
allowed the consortium to pinpoint and introduce several modifications to their curricula while
preserving the generally strong state of university mathematics education in these countriesThe
book presents the methodology  procedure and results of this analysis. This book is a valuable
resource for teachers  especially those teaching mathematics  and curriculum planners for
engineers  as well as for a general audience interested in scientific and technical higher
education.
