Project Summary

Unfortunately it has been noticed that the Mathematicians see mathematics as an area of study in its own right. The rest use mathematical formulas as a tool for deriving quantitative conclusions from these relationships. For that purpose, mathematics courses, as they are taught today, are seldom helpful, their importance is not realized by the students & teachers and are often downright destructive. The failure rates among the students are the highest among their curriculum courses, mathematics popularity is among the lowest within the student communities and thus an implementation of methodological and teaching changes of Mathematics is demanded. This project aims to bring a breath of fresh air in the way that the mathematics are taught. The project targets to link Mathematics, taught in the 1st year of BSc degrees in Engineering and Computer Science Departments, with real life problems and try to express these challenges qualitative and quantitative using Mathematics principles. Along its implementation, new Educational trends regarding innovative teaching methods (Problem Based Learning), new delivery tools (ICT use in Higher Education) and experiences linking Mathematics with the Industry & daily life problems that have developed and experienced in the Program countries HEIs will be applied in the course curricula of the participating Partner countries HEIs from Western Balkans and Israel. Project’s primary objectives are:- Improve students math level of 1st year Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Departments- Assist student to be able to guess answers without a proof or an exact calculation- Reduce failure rates in math courses- To demonstrate to the students that math is relevant to the program they have chosen to study – Improve students confidence in their ability to learn mathIts outputs / deliverables will be:- Reports – Off line & Online Teaching material and tools – Training workshops for students and teachers
