Abstract
The present educational paper is focused on the creative rethinking and improvement of undergraduate curriculum in multidisciplinary materials science and engineering through the authors-proposed formulation of a new pedagogical hypothesis concerning the functioning modes of a two-tiered mathematical model of student memory. The didactic novelty of this original article is supported by the development and student-friendly interpretation of an original phenomenological model for an applied mathematical description of a typical geometric shape of student memorisation curve and a simplified estimation of student learning dynamics based on the concepts of learning-forgetting theory. The physical meaning of the authors-proposed memory hypothesis and phenomenological learning model is shown through the introduction of an electrical scheme which illustrates the idea of a novel phenomenological model of student memory. The author-proposed original didactic approach substantially broadens and extends student ideas concerning practical possibilities of applied mathematical modelling of educational problems of learning and instruction.
