In this paper, the authors discuss the development of a framework for creating computational mathematics modules for engineering students. The purpose of the modules is to introduce mathematical concepts through modeling real-world applications and is intended to develop the students' ability to generalize a concept and to work with models of varying abstraction. The authors represent an interdisciplinary team contributing expertise from the fields of mathematics, computational science, and teacher education.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
