This paper addresses the design of teaching to promote engineering students’ conceptual understanding of mathematics, and its outcomes for mathematical meaning-making. Within a developmental research approach, inquiry-based tasks have been designed and evaluated, through the use of competencies proposed for their potential to promote conceptual learning. A sociocultural frame draws attention to interactions between different cultural elements to address challenges to teaching related to student perspectives and the math-ematical meanings they develop. The paper recognizes tensions between design of inquiry-based practice and the outcomes of that practice, and demonstrates the need for new research to address mathematical meanings...
