The article presents a case history of how a special series of technical mathematics courses was developed in an engineering technology program to meet student needs. It primarily focuses on role of mathematics in the engineering technology curriculum and on some of the problems related to it. (Author/BP)

This handbook is designed to assist teachers of technical mathematics in developing practically-oriented curricula for their students. The underlying assumption is that, while technology students are not a breed apart, their needs and orientation are to the concrete, rather than the abstract. It describes the nature, scope, and content of…
