At the faculties of technical universities, teaching of mathematics should be aimed at the development of students' abilities to apply their knowledge of mathematics to the technology, mathematical modelling as well as numerical solutions of engineering problems. Within the structuralization of university studies, the subject Applied Mathematics, which has been introduced to the freshmen engineering studies at the Faculty of Manufacturing Technologies in Prešov, supplies a suitable space for it. Emphasizing the effectiveness of technical education at universities and applicative character of mathematical disciplines, the paper presents the implementation of technical applications as well as ICT to the teaching of applied mathematics.

Keywords: technical education, technical universities, applied mathematics, mathematical modelling, numerical methods, ICT, MS Excel.
