AB  - This study discusses a study on e-Learning as an alternative 
  mode for teaching mathematics for engineering students, focusing on vector calculus 
  as an instance of application. Mastery of mathematics is vital for engineering 
  students. A strong foundation in mathematics is necessary to ensure engineering 
  students mastery of other engineering courses. Difficulties in mastering mathematics 
  often adversely affect the achievement of enginering students academically. 
  Among the mathematics courses, vector calculus stand out as challenging to many 
  students. This study thus covers the strategy of this alternativemode to enable 
  students comprehension and mastery of the vector calculus. Implementation of 
  e-Learning is supported by learning softwares, maths websites, Wiley-Plus<SUP>&reg;</SUP> 
  and Hot Potatoes<SUP>&reg;</SUP>. The e-Learning mode enabled students to communicate 
  with the lecturer at any time through an interactive facebook. Similarly, the 
  use of wordpress and google.doc enabled students to communicate or access learning 
  materials at any time. Evidently, the method has enabled students to master 
  vector calculus and engineering mathematics, through visualization enabled by 
  the e-Learning tools.
