Integrated Learning for Engineering and Mathematics Modules

Integrated Learning for Engineering and Mathematics Modules

F. Seng, Y. Soo, N. Singh, N. Ling (2009).  Integrated Learning for Engineering and Mathematics Modules. 11.

The Department of Mathematics and Science (MS) and the School of Architecture and the Built Environment (ABE) in Singapore Polytechnic (SP) have adopted the CDIO educational framework in the Diploma in Civil Engineering and Management (DCEM) course. To meet CDIO standards, both MS and ABE have actively worked to integrate the learning of engineering and mathematics modules through the use of a common Engineering Formulae booklet. The paper describes (a) the systematic approach which MS and ABE have taken, (b) the results of student perception feedback and (c) the recommendations for further refinements and improvements.
