Abstract
Understanding mathematics is essential for learning many concepts in engineering. Conceptual learning of engineering requires students to successfully connect abstract and concrete concepts to achieve a cohesive understanding of the content, and doing so goes beyond memorizing facts and applying formulas. Educators can observe that conceptual learning “has happened” once a student is able to successfully explain the concept, use the concept, and create new knowledge from the learned concept
[1]
. Moreover, a student’s ability to understand, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the mathematical equations and computations that describe various engineering processes and phenomena is necessary for the conceptual learning of many courses in engineering.
期刊介绍：
The IEEE Transactions on Education (ToE) publishes significant and original scholarly contributions to education in electrical and electronics engineering, computer engineering, computer science, and other fields within the scope of interest of IEEE. Contributions must address discovery, integration, and/or application of knowledge in education in these fields. Articles must support contributions and assertions with compelling evidence and provide explicit, transparent descriptions of the processes through which the evidence is collected, analyzed, and interpreted. While characteristics of compelling evidence cannot be described to address every conceivable situation, generally assessment of the work being reported must go beyond student self-report and attitudinal data.
