The use of technologies as support tools for the teaching of mathematics has become an important area of research on teaching. Educational institutions may use these tools to prepare students for social life and the world of work. Each day, more and more computational resources are made available to teachers. Methodologies including such resource in the syllabus were examined and a research project was developed with the purpose to analyze the possibilities of using Maple software in the theoretical and practical development of Differential and Integral Calculus for students of Mathematics and Engineering. Methodologically speaking, the project is based on the principles of Didactics Engineering, which is characterized as an experimental frame of reference based on classroom didactic practices, concerning conception, practice, observation, and analysis of teaching sequences. The study pointed out that the use of mathematical software in class motivates students, allows autonomy, rises the ability to interpret and analyze and promotes solid knowledge building.
