AB  - Failure in Engineering Mathematics is a concern of the academician both locally and internationally.
Various reason were identified for the poor performance in Engineering Mathematics and remedial steps were
taken to overcome this issue. One of the step to improve the performance of students in Engineering
Mathematics by including teaching via. computational tool which help the students to understand the subject
better. Thus, the objective of this study is to investigate the recent usage of computational tools in the teaching
and learning of vector calculus. The scope of this study is on the software’s that are mostly used in the
teaching and learning of vector calculus. MATLAB, Maple, Mathematica, GeoGebra and Sage are used in the
teaching and learning of vector calculus. Students were excited learning vector calculus, motivated to learn the
subjects, avoided wasting time in normal computation, agreed that software is a powerful tool for simulation
and enhanced the comprehension of vector calculus.
