Abstract
At the University of Waterloo, several faculty members in Engineering have attempted to introduce Maple software into the engineering curriculum. Most of these attempts have been conducted with the assistance of the Engineering Education Research Centre. This paper summarizes some of the difficulties, successes, and lessons learned in these ventures, and provides some recommendations for future endeavours.
