Mathematical Education of Engineers: an Australian perspective

A series of surveys provide the basis for comments on the mathematical education of engineers in Australia. The respondents were graduates and employers. This paper summarises their views and contrasts undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The former tend to be traditional and structured. There is a need for more course work with the latter with more emphasis on mathematical modelling. Desirable professional attributes which should come from education with mathematics rather than mere training in mathematics are listed as they are seen in the milieu of the market place.     

University Education of Engineers in France

In France, training in engineering was exclusively provided by the ‘Grandes Ecoles’. In this context, the French universities have been developing engineering training alongside traditional training courses. The growth in engineering training has been particularly important during the last five years. The author describes the conditions of the setting up and the nature of the different training courses and gives an evaluation after the first twenty years of their existence. The statistics regarding the profiles of the applicants, the distribution over the different specializations and the salary progression are given.

基于Web的多媒体课件的数学公式优化处理

数学公式是大学数学多媒体课件的重要构成部分,然而在用网页技术制作多媒体课件时,数学公式跳浮于同行文字的现象,极大地影响了课件效果,笔者结合制作体会,给出了多种解决办法。     

The Role of Industry in the Education of Mechanical Engineers

Engineering education should be relevant to the needs of our industry as industry absorbs the large majority of our engineering students, either directly or indirectly. The contact between industry and engineering students has therefore to be stimulated. As no legal obligation exists in Belgium, this is left entirely to the initiative of the professors and the engineers in industry. We will explain how at our university those contacts are developed for the mechanical engineering students. We will explain our aims, our working conditions and circumstances, our results and the role of the research. The art however is to stimulate the students, and to convince the industry of the importance of those contacts in the education of our and their future engineers.     

多媒体技术在教育教学中的重要性

多媒体教学、网络教学越来越表现出它的优势,它将对传统教学方法产生冲击,成为未来教学的主要手段之一,学习计算机技术、多媒体应用技术是当今教师的一个主要课题.     

浅谈多媒体在数学分析教学中的应用

本文根据数学分析的特点，论述了多媒体技术在数学分析教学中的作用、多媒体辅助教学的原则，以及如何将多媒体技术与传统教学有机融合。以提高数学分析教学质量。     

数学教学与数学思想

运用函数与方程、数型结合、化归等数学思想对基本不等式进行探究,让学生领悟数学思想、提高学生的思维品质,培养学生的创新能力.     

数学教育中的数学素质

培养学生怎样的数学素质?怎样来培养这些数学素质?从观念层面考虑,应具备自觉的定量、定量化数学意识。从能力层面考虑,应具备解决问题的数学能力。从思维层面考虑,应具备数学推理能力。从语言层面考虑,应具备运用数学语言进行信息交流的数学能力。从心理层面考虑,应具备良好的数学心理素质。

教育形态数学文化的研究对数学教育的启示

数学文化是由数学家群体在认识数学世界和相互交往中自觉形成的一种相对独立、相对稳定的社会意义网络.在这个定义下,数学教学是数学文化的一部分;数学教育、数学文化中蕴含着中西两种文化;可以将"准历史现象"法运用在数学教学中.     

数学经验主义及其对数学教育的启示

数学思维是一种高度抽象的心智活动过程.数学推理和证明并不依赖于经验事实,但数学与经验是有关系的.数学理论的突破是以经验的支持为前提的.经验是影响数学发展和数学学习的一个重要因素.数学经验主义对数学教育的启示有:应充分认识经验在教育中的价值,从学生现有经验出发组织教学,发挥经验在教学中的积极作用.在数学教育中,既要避免过分强调数学的逻辑性和抽象性,也要防止过分陶醉于学生的直接经验而忽视系统知识的学习.     

交互式多媒体在信息技术教育中的运用

在科学技术飞速发展的今天,多媒体交互式教学已经逐渐进入各类中小学日常教学的各个环节,它的应用为教学所带来的高效、灵活、方便、直观、快速等变化已经成为越来越引人关注的焦点,尤其是近年来技术上的日趋完善,更将其在中小学教学,特别是信息技术的教学中带入了一个全新的领域和境界。一、计算机多媒体交互式教学的概念及在教学中的重要意义计算机多媒体交互式教学是充分运用计算机多媒体技术和计算机网络技术,将传统的课堂理论知识讲授建立于形象、生动、直观的教学之中,使教师和学生能够最大限度地增强课堂参与意识,进一步提高教学质量…
