“…Many modern computer software are available to find the inverse Laplace transform of equation (8). One such tool is MATLAB, which is a product developed by the software company Mathworks [22]. MATLAB is one of the most popular CAS programs that is used in mathematics and engineering classrooms at many universities worldwide.…”

<p>We present a new look at teaching the Laplace transform for engineering students by emphasizing the obsolescence of the traditional method of finding the inverse Laplace transform when solving differential equations, and by recognizing the important role of a CAS-assisted environment in helping the students understand the basic concepts of the Laplace transform, instead of asking the students to repeat computational processes by hand.</p>

“…The influence of computer technology on students' academic performance and learning experience has been investigated by several authors. Abdul Majid et al [1], [2] used Matlab as an aid to teach calculus to engineering students. The software package was used for various course learning outcomes such as graphical display of mathematical functions, exploration, identifying and predicting structural patterns in evaluating a series of complex indefinite integrals, and numerical approximations in applied mathematics.…”

The rapid advances in technology over the last decade have significantly altered the nature of engineering knowledge and skills required in the modern industries. In response to the changing professional requirements, engineering institutions have updated their curriculum and pedagogical practices. However, most of the changes in the curriculum have been focused on the core engineering courses without much consideration for the auxiliary courses in mathematics and sciences. In this paper, we aim to propose a new, augmented mathematics curriculum aimed at meeting the requirements of the modern, technology-based engineering workplace. The proposed updates require minimal resources and can be seamlessly integrated into the existing curriculum.

“…New educational technologies and even dispositives, that can be used in the mathematics classroom, are constantly appearing to improve the teaching-learning process. The appearance of these tools, which range from software capable of helping with the visualization of different figures in three dimensions, such as the possibility of calculating the resistance of a certain material, has allowed the way in which classes are taught to evolve and the positive effects of the use of these tools have been pointed out by many researchers in the area [1, 3,5,7,11,19,20,22,23,24,26].…”

In recent years, the way in which mathematics is taught has changed radically and there has been an increase in the percentage of online classes. One of the biggest challenges that teachers face in this type of online scenario is the need to motivate students so that they do not lose the thread and continue with their usual rhythm and seek methodologies that facilitate the teaching-learning process. The growth of educational technology has become a powerful ally in carrying out this study. This
