Mathematical Education of Engineers: An Australian Perspective.

Sekhon, J. G.; Shannon, A. G.

European Journal of Engineering Education, v10 n3-4 p295-303 1985

Graduates and employers were surveyed on the mathematical education of engineers in Australia. This paper summarizes their views and contrasts undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The undergraduate courses tend to be more traditional and structured, while there is a need for more work emphasizing mathematical modeling for postgraduate courses. (Author/JN)
