Direct linkRamírez-Sánchez, Camilo Andrés; Romo-Vázquez, Avenilde; Romo-Vázquez, Rebeca; Velásquez-Rojas, Diana – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
The training of non-specialists, particularly engineers, in mathematics requires designing specific didactic proposals that make the importance of mathematics evident. One approach to creating such proposals consists in analyzing the mathematics used in authentic contexts of engineering research and then effectuating a didactic transposition to…

Magana, Alejandra J.; Fennell, Hayden W.; Vieira, Camilo; Falk, Michael L. – Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
Background: Modeling and simulation practices have become commonplace in modern engineering, but in-depth research on the development of modeling and simulation expertise is needed to identify the learning processes involved in successfully acquiring these skills. Purpose: This study investigated student dimensions of expertise when engaged in…

Pulley, Melissa; Rodriguez, Leoncio; Lewis, Matthew; Kohler, Brynja; Gordillo, Luis – PRIMUS, 2022
Inspired by the approach first employed by C.S. Holling in his classic "disc experiment," this article provides a sequence of learning activities that increase students' understanding of the mechanisms behind saturating effects in predator-prey scenarios. The proposed lesson is recommended for inclusion in courses that address…

Cumber, Peter S. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
It is well known that mechanical engineering students often find mechanics a difficult area to grasp. This article describes a system of equations describing the motion of a balanced and an unbalanced roller constrained by a pivot arm. A wide range of dynamics can be simulated with the model. The equations of motion are embedded in a graphical…

Kazak, Sibel; Pratt, Dave – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2017
This study considers probability models as tools for both making informal statistical inferences and building stronger conceptual connections between data and chance topics in teaching statistics. In this paper, we aim to explore pre-service mathematics teachers' use of probability models for a chance game, where the sum of two dice matters in…

Bajpai, Shrish; Kidwai, Naimur Rahman – Comparative Professional Pedagogy, 2018
Present manuscript deals with the Indian government effort in making the control engineering education, an equal standard to any developed country. Control Engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering which has an ample number of applications in the almost every core engineering discipline. This is the field which uses the feedback…

Sacristán, Ana Isabel; Pretelín-Ricárdez, Angel – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2017
This work is part of a research project that aims to enhance engineering students' learning of how to apply mathematics in modelling activities of real-world situations, through the construction (design and programming) of videogames. We want also for students to relate their mathematical knowledge with other disciplines (e.g., physics, computer…

In this article we discuss the possible uses of NetLogo as an educational tool for High School and early-years undergraduate students. The paper is geared towards teachers from all disciplines who require students to problem solve, be quantitative and logical but want a project orientated platform to build or reinforce knowledge. The tools and…

Jensen, Eva – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2014
If students really understand the systems they study, they would be able to tell how changes in the system would affect a result. This demands that the students understand the mechanisms that drive its behaviour. The study investigates potential merits of learning how to explicitly model the causal structure of systems. The approach and…

Neilan, Rachael Miller – PRIMUS, 2013
This article describes a computational project designed for undergraduate students as an introduction to mathematical modeling. Students use an ordinary differential equation to describe fish weight and assume the instantaneous growth rate depends on the concentration of dissolved oxygen. Published laboratory experiments suggest that continuous…

Torres, Nestor V. – Bioscience Education, 2013
Systems Biology, one of the current approaches to the understanding of living things, aims to understand the behaviour of living systems through the creation of mathematical models that integrate the available knowledge of the system's component parts and the relations among them. Accordingly, model building should play a central part in any…

Ray, Darrell L. – American Biology Teacher, 2013
Students often enter biology programs deficient in the math and computational skills that would enhance their attainment of a deeper understanding of the discipline. To address some of these concerns, I developed a series of spreadsheet simulation exercises that focus on some of the mathematical foundations of scientific inquiry and the benefits…

Schroder, Tobias; Scholl, Wolfgang – Social Psychology Quarterly, 2009
Affect Control Theory (ACT; Heise 1979, 2007) states that people control social interactions by striving to maintain culturally shared feelings about the situation. The theory is based on mathematical models of language-based impression formation. In a laboratory experiment, we tested the predictive power of a new German-language ACT model with…
