I am interested in hearing from people teaching undergraduate Mathematics courses which involve a significant CAS component. This is particularly directed at service courses (Engineering, Technology, Applied Science or even Economics etc) involving CAS as an integral part (rather than just an add-on to an existing and possibly fairly traditional course). What significant changes have you made to the curriculum? How are you handling assessment? What CAS are you using and how much access do your students have to it? Do you run supervised lab sessions/lab exams? Have you developed your own resources? What further changes do you expect to make or think you should make to the content? Has the introduction of a CAS enabled you to expose students to 'realistic problem-solving'? Answers to any or all of these questions would be most welcome. Perhaps some further discussion on this bulletin board could ensue. Thanks for your time.
