Computational simulation: multidisciplinary teaching of dynamic models from the linear algebra perspective

Abstract

The technological development has stablish a new learning perspective in the Linear Algebra Concepts. In progress is being made in multidisciplinary teaching in engineering careers, since the proposal is that students learn Math taking into account the benefits provided from the new technologies that analyse different aspects of an engineering system. In this paper are presented a classroom experience in the Computer and Multidisciplinary Laboratory of Basic Sciences where a fluid flow system is modelled when we want to deal with the Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors topic, content that belongs to Algebra and Analytic Geometrical program. The possibilities that the computational systems offers have unchained a reformulation of methodological focus of educative programs, since they propose to intensify learning through the acquisition of skills by students. The developed experience proposes a learning methodology that guarantees an academic knowledge according to the new developments, and assert that Engineering students approach new mathematical subjects trough adequate applications.
