The Relationship

Students generally do not understand how basic STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) material fits into all of their engineering courses. Basic material is presented in introductory courses but the relationship of the material to subsequent courses is unclear to the student since the practical relevance of the material is not necessarily presented. Students generally hit the “reset button” after each course not realizing the importance of basic STEM material. The capstone experience is supposed to “tie all the pieces together” but this occurs too late in the student’s educational career. A new multisemester interwoven dynamic systems project has been initiated to better integrate the material from differential equations, mathematical methods, laboratory measurements and dynamic systems across several semesters/courses so that the students can better understand the relationship of basic STEM material to an ongoing problem. This paper highlights the overall concept to be addressed by the new approach. The description of the project and modules under development are discussed.

The Relationship

There has been constant debate about the predictability of the security markets. We examine the relationship between the prices of a stock and its convertible bond during the Hong Kong stock market bubble of 1997 and its subsequent crash. We find that the price behavior of the share and the convertible bond not only gave a clear signal of the market reversal, but also the minimum range of the stock price change. This example offers concrete evidence that the market becomes highly predictable at times and gives us a chance to understand the relationship of the underlying stock and its derivatives during market bubbles.

Mathematics Achievement Test

This study investigated the relationship among the acquisition of mathematics achievement and the abilities of conservation, seriation, and classification. Native Nigerian children, ages 4 to 8 yr. ( N = 120), were subjects. Data showed (a) moderate to high relationships of mathematics achievement and conservation, seriation, and classification abilities, (b) few sex differences either on the mathematics achievement test or on the performance of the various Piagetian tasks, and (c) that the operational stage is attained around the age 8 rather than somewhat earlier as we expected.
