Mathematic, A Categorical Imperative for the Training of the Engineering Students in the 21st Century

Professionally, engineering is presently the most important discipline mathematically. Innovative development in engineering has stimulated new grounds of mathematical research. Coding theory, signal processing, control theory etc. the interwoven nature between engineering and mathematic creates a mathematic relevance, in the engineering education. In the last thirty years, demands of the engineering profession and adequate mathematical ability of the engineering students has resulted to a change in the scope of the mathematics education. Computers and technological developments have resulted to various methods if teaching mathematics, cumulating into the use of modern techniques and method to deliver the engineering student. This research aims at mirroring the mathematical education and reflecting its important nature to engineering education for the 21st century engineers. This must be by critically evaluating the curriculum, teaching and measurement-assessments method which is categorically imperative in training engineers
