Strategies for teaching engineering mathematics

This thesis is an account of experiments into the teaching of mathematics to engineering undergraduates which have been conducted over twenty years against a background of changing intake ability, varying output requirements and increasing restrictions on the formal contact time available. The aim has been to improve the efficiency of the teaching-learning process. The main areas of experimentation have been the integration in the syllabus of numerical and analytical methods, the incorporation of case studies into the curriculum and the use of micro-based software to enhance the teaching process. Special attention is paid to courses in Mathematical Engineering and their position in the spectrum of engineering disciplines. A core curriculum in mathematics for undergraduate engineers is proposed and details are provided of its implementation. The roles of case studies and micro-based software are highlighted. The provision of a mathematics learning resource centre is considered a necessary feature of the implementation of the proposed course. Finally, suggestions for further research are made

Computer education : Ireland : a case study

The research described in this thesis is born mainly of the author's experience within the Executive Committee of the Computer Education Society of Ireland (CESI) in trying to get computing onto the curriculum of Irish Second level schools...(continues). The thesis concludes by formulating general guidelines as to why Information Technology should be introduced into the Schools Curriculum. The author insists that, only under the terms of a National Plan and adequate funding can Computer Education, or, in its wider sense, Information Technology, become a viable proposition in Irish schools. A number of recommendations are made and some areas of further research are indicated
