abstract

  • © 2015, Springer International Publishing Switzerland.This chapter focuses on the study of the development of modelling competencies in a Differential Equations class where diverse technology is used. First, it discusses how modelling can be used for the design of didactic sequences for students of engineering. Secondly, it shows an innovative proposal that includes the incorporation of diverse technology for teaching Differential Equations in the context of RC (Resistor-Capacitor) and RL (Resistor-Inductor) Circuits. Finally, it details qualitatively the way technology promotes the development of mathematical modelling in students of engineering.
