DescriptionMathematical Modelling: Transforming Engineering Mathematics Education through Real-World Problems and Applications
Mathematics in engineering programmes is often delivered as a service subject, with varying degrees of integration across disciplinary modules and professional contexts. However, when the connections between abstract mathematics concepts and engineering applications are not made explicit, this may result in students having gaps in conceptual understanding. This two-day course supports educators to address this and to reposition mathematics as the language for engineering modelling, analysis and judgement in complex systems.
The course explores how topics such as calculus, linear algebra and data analysis can be reframed through authentic engineering and scientific problems with social, environmental and economic dimensions. The programme combines research-informed perspectives from mathematics education and problem-based learning (PBL) with studio-based curriculum design workshops, enabling participants to develop teaching strategies across curricular and classroom levels.

More InformationParticipants will work with established research and practice-based frameworks to: · scaffold connections between mathematical concepts and their use in engineering, · map and align mathematics learning outcomes, teaching activities and assessment with disciplinary modules and professional expectations, · incorporate learning technologies to support active learning, conceptual understanding and equitable participation in mathematics, · integrate ethical and societal topics, such as sustainable development goals (SDGs) into mathematics curricula.
By the end of the course, participants will have developed a module transformation blueprint, including a modelling-led learning sequence, an authentic problem-based activity, and an aligned assessment strategy.
The course is designed for engineering mathematics lecturers, programme directors and curriculum leaders seeking research-informed, hands-on approaches to strengthening the role of mathematics within engineering degrees and enhancing graduate capability. Recently Added | |||||||||||||||
