Abstract

Today, the role of humans is changing rapidly in both industrial production activities and services. Mediocre, easy-to-learn activities can be performed more efficiently by machines; mediocre knowledge is being devalued while the importance of high-level skills is increasing. As a result, in all sectors of the economy, and especially in engineering, new approaches to expert training are needed; people must learn to hand over certain decision-making roles and to control the processes supported by AI rather than compete with it. STEM education has a responsibility to achieve these goals and must develop appropriate tools for engineering education. This paper presents a complex didactic methodology for competency-based education in engineering bachelor programs. An important element is the mathematical competency map, which shows the importance and place of mathematical and algorithmic (coding) knowledge in engineering topics. Another element is the systematic testing of mathematical knowledge in non-mathematical contexts in engineering courses. We provide an overview of our achievements in applying the developed toolset and improving the efficiency of mathematics teaching in engineering bachelor programs.

在工程教育中培养数学建模能力的复杂方法

如今，人类在工业生产活动和服务业中的作用正在迅速发生变化。平庸、易学的活动可以由机器更高效地完成；平庸的知识正在贬值，而高水平技能的重要性却与日俱增。因此，在所有经济部门，特别是在工程领域，都需要新的专家培训方法；人们必须学会交出某些决策角色，学会控制人工智能支持的流程，而不是与之竞争。STEM 教育有责任实现这些目标，必须为工程教育开发适当的工具。本文介绍了在工程学本科课程中开展基于能力的教育的复杂教学方法。其中一个重要元素是数学能力地图，它显示了数学和算法（编码）知识在工程课题中的重要性和地位。另一个要素是在工程学课程的非数学背景下对数学知识进行系统测试。我们将概述在应用所开发的工具集和提高工程学学士课程数学教学效率方面所取得的成就。

期刊介绍： International Review of Applied Sciences and Engineering is a peer reviewed journal. It offers a comprehensive range of articles on all aspects of engineering and applied sciences. It provides an international and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of ideas between engineers, researchers and scholars within the academy and industry. It covers a wide range of application areas including architecture, building services and energetics, civil engineering, electrical engineering and mechatronics, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, material sciences, applied informatics and management sciences. The aim of the Journal is to provide a location for reporting original research results having international focus with multidisciplinary content. The published papers provide solely new basic information for designers, scholars and developers working in the mentioned fields. The papers reflect the broad categories of interest in: optimisation, simulation, modelling, control techniques, monitoring, and development of new analysis methods, equipment and system conception.
