Beskrivelse
Summary:The body of engineering students has been diversifying to such an extent that it has been raising new challenges, both for the students and for educators. ...Compared to 20 years ago, there is now much wider variability among incoming students in the level of mathematical competence. ... After analysing our findings, we make recommendations on measures to cap the broadening diversity, to better manage the mathematical education of the current student group, to promote better collaboration between the disciplines, to provide a pathway to produce a minor stream of mathematically well qualified BE graduates and to provide a better service to meet the professional needs of the students.
