In this paper, the authors present the application of the scaffolding technique in drawing graphs of some elementary functions. First-year students of the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Geodesy were tested using two exams: an entrance test and an exit test. The obtained results show whether students are more successful in drawing g...

In this paper we introduce nested trigonometric and hyperbolic polynomials of rank n by employing nested trigonometric and hyperbolic functions, respectively. Our investigation delves into some interesting properties of nested polynomials, establishing some recurrence formulas and deriving some useful summation formulas. Additionally, we establish ...

The paper analyzes gender differences in the length of study and average grade between the number of enrolled and graduated students at the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy in Banjaluka, during the period from 1996 to 2015. It was concluded that women, in civil engineering studies, are just as successful as men. However, it is...

Spatial intelligence is an important skill for students of technical faculties, especially those fields where the capacity for engineering thinking and creative expression is equally valued. The field of Architecture is emphasized here, and the issue of assessing the spatial abilities of architecture students and their improvement has often been ob...

In this paper we used a new class of special functions and special polynomials which are solutions different Sturm Liouvile differential equations of second order. These functions form a basis of a space of square integrable functions over set of a real numbers. We investigated some properties of these polynomials and established some recurrence fo...

Spatial abilities are becoming an increasingly important predictor of success, especially in professions that balance analytical and creative thinking, such as architecture, especially with the increasing presence of digital media and technology, and the importance of the spatial presentation of one’s ideas. There are differing opinions as to wheth...

Descriptive geometry is one of the fundamental subjects in the education of future architects, civil engineers and engineers of geodesy. During the course, certain differences in mastering the teaching material have been noticed, as well as the divergence in performance of students in relation to their study program. In order to analyse these diffe...
