dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this research was to investigate the transition from academic mathematics to real-life, engineering situations. In particular, through a case study, we investigate what mathematics content Brazilian undergraduate engineering students at private university use in order to develop their final course project. Theoretically, we use aspects of mathematical thinking raised in the literature reviewed. The methodological approach includes phases of grounded theory. Data collection included students' written documents as well as videotaped interviews with students and their professors. Results revealed that to accomplish their projects students relied engaged in mathematical modeling and used specific software. Moreover, students showed that they were able to cope with mathematical situations that were not taught in their engineering courses. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2010.
