The Determinant of the Studies of Mathematics in the Engineering Education

Expedience and the necessary amount of the subjects that are included in the study programs of universities are evaluated by the input that each subject renders to achieve the common study goals of the program. To ensure a good quality study process, knowledge, skills and competences that will be provided by acquiring the corresponding subject must be acknowledged, as well as their usefulness in the assessment of the employer. The quality of the students’ competences is not dependant only on the amount of knowledge in some subject, but also on the acquired ability and skill to solve problems independently. That is why the goal of teaching mathematics is firstly determined by the necessity for students to be prepared to practically use the acquired subject in life, and that is why study process must be purposefully created
