Résumé

In this study we have investigated the resources used by first year engineering students in a technical university in the Netherlands, for their learning of Calculus and Linear Algebra. Using a case study approach we have focused on how the resources and their use (a) differed from upper secondary school as compared to university, and (b) differed between the two university courses. The results indicate that, in terms of (a) students built on secondary school experiences and emulated these into their university courses, where some subsequently experienced difficulties. In terms of (b), we argue that the course organization and the alignment of curriculum materials with the learning goals had an impact on the students' choice and use of resources. Human resources played an important but varying role.
