Co-Creating A Computer-Based Mathematics Curriculum For Engineering Education

Typical engineering mathematics curricula focus on calculations/procedures, while in practice computers are used to perform routine calculations. 

Typical engineering mathematics curricula focus on calculations/procedures, while in practice computers are used to perform routine calculations. 

This project proposes to engage students as curriculum co-creators to re-design the first-year mathematics curriculum for Electrical/Electronic Engineering students at MTU. 

Partnership is both a process and a product so we anticipate two significant outputs: 

  1.  A re-designed, first-year mathematics curriculum which leverages computers and digital tools to enable students to apply key mathematics principles, concepts and ways of thinking to authentic engineering problems; and 
  2. A process for co-creating engineering curricula which equally values the student and staff voice.
