Study Development

There is a need in engineering education toimprove the connection between design and engineeringscience. Students should be provided more opportunitiesto practice applying both science and design to a singleproblem in order to be better prepared for challengesthey will face when they enter the workforce. For thisreason, an instructor of a first year engineering sciencecourse was motivated to improve its connection to theCanadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB)Attributes, specifically the Design attribute. The goal wasto revise the course such that the students would berequired to integrate quantitative methods that weretaught during the term through the means of design. Itwas decided that an effective pedagogical tool that couldaccomplish this was a case study, since it would providecomplexity and context using a real-world issue thatrelated to several course concepts. The methodology forcase development, implementation strategy, future steps,lessons learned, as well as the instructor’s observationswill be discussed.

Logarithm Function

We present here the lessons learned by iteratively designing a tutorial for first-year university students using computer programming to work with mathematical models. Alternating between design and implementation, we used video-taped task interviews and classroom observations to ensure that the design promoted student understanding. The final version of the tutorial we present here has students make their own logarithm function from scratch, using Taylor polynomials. To ensure that the resulting function is accurate and reasonably fast, the students have to understand and apply concepts from both computing and mathematics. We identify four categories of such concepts and identify three design features that students attended to when demonstrating such understandings. Additionally, we describe seven important take-aways from a teaching design point of view that resulted from this iterative design process.
