Understanding abstract engineering mathematics concepts for engineering students especially in Vector Calculus has been a nationwide issue. The effect of this situation is the poor performance of engineering students. This study compares Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia's (UKM) weekly syllabus of Vector Calculus with some other 59 universities across the world to find the common topics in Vector Calculus. These topics will be included in lab sessions, an innovation way of teaching Vector Calculus. These topics will be included in lab sessions, an innovative way of teaching Vector Calculus. Teaching Vector Calculus using computational tools has been shown positive result by many recent studies. Basic complex number, vector functions, partial derivatives, line integrals, double integral, triple integral, Green's theorem, Stokes' theorem are the common topics in Vector Calculus which are suggested for lab session will be conducted for two hours and this will add to a total of eight weeks of laboratory sessions. In future it is suggested that laboratory sessions should be a part of Vector Calculus syllabus. The curriculum of Vector Calculus subject needs to be reviewed. This innovative teaching method helps to visualize graphs and understand difficult concept in Vector Calculus tremendously. In addition, tedious calculation can be computed easily using the computational method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
