The expediency and the necessary amount of the included subjects in the study programs of universities are evaluated by their input to achieve the overall study goals of the program. To ensure qualitative study process, knowledge, skills and competences that will be provided by acquiring each subject must be acknowledged, as well as, their expedience in the estimation of the employers. The quality of the students’ competence depends on the amount of the gained knowledge in some subject, but, mainly, by the acquisition of the ability to solve problems. As natural sciences (mathematics, physics, and chemistry) are a base of the engineering science, Math studies are included in all higher academicals and professional education study programs. That is why nowadays the goal of teaching Mathematics defines the fact that students must be prepared to use the acquired subject in real life and the study process must be purposefully formed, because, the qualities of the engineering education depend on the quality of the studies of Mathematics.
