Cumber, Peter – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
The dynamics of a simple pendulum are often presented to undergraduate engineering students in introductory courses in dynamics. It is usually the first dynamic system considered by students that is modelled by a differential equation. This paper presents the standard material given to students. It is fair to say that students are accepting this…

Monteiro, L. H. A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
The process of turning a doctoral student into an independent researcher is usually guided by a professor. In this work, the supervisor-supervisee relationship is represented by a scheme inspired by Michaelis-Menten kinetics, which has been used to determine the rate of enzyme-catalysed reactions. Here, the time evolution of the number of…

Cumber, Peter – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
Mechanical engineering students often find the formulation and analysis of dynamical systems difficult. The response of some mechanical engineering undergraduates is that as much as possible courses on mechanics are best avoided. The aim of this paper is to produce some interesting dynamical systems that may help to change the opinions of the…

Dayal, Vikram – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
Epidemiological models have enhanced relevance because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this note, we emphasize visual tools that can be part of a learning module geared to teaching the SIR epidemiological model, suitable for advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students in disciplines where the level of prior mathematical knowledge of…

Cheesewright, R.; And Others – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1974
A British project in engineering science is described. Computer assisted instruction packages are being developed to provide students with experience with models or systems of models related to lecture material on electrical, electronic, nuclear, and mechanical engineering. (SD)

Periago, Francisco – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2003
In this paper, a didactical proposal is presented to introduce the variational methods for solving boundary value problems to engineering students. Starting from a couple of simple models arising in linear elasticity and heat diffusion, the concept of weak solution for these models is motivated and the existence, uniqueness and continuous…

Hebenstreit, J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1974
The role of computer science in relation to education is discussed from two points of view: (1) the use of computer models for studying the learning process, and (2) the use of the computer as a teaching device. (SD)
