The overall objective of the two Tempus projects, MathGeAr and MetaMath, is to improve the quality of STEM education in the South Caucasian region (Armenia and Georgia) and Russia, by modernizing and improving the curricula and teaching methods in the field of Mathematics. This article presents an analysis of the engineering students’ perceptions of their mathematics courses. We present the methodology of data acquisition, the main themes that the study investigates and the preliminary results. We do validate the fact that each institution carries its own educational tradition which yields a very strong indicator of the origin of students.
