, ROM, and I/O. The initial experiment has the students use theHC11’s Buffalo Bug software to manipulate port outputs. The traffic light LEDs are connectedto the output ports of the microprocessors. Thus, the students directly control the lights bymodifying the contents of the memory locations associated with the output ports. This helps thestudents see the connection between software and what happens in hardware. Then the lectureexplains how programs can be written for the microprocessor and stored in on-chip RAM. Theidea of a simple flow chart is introduced to alternate green and red lights between N/S and E/W.The second experiment has the students implement the flowchart in C code, compile the code,and download it to the microprocessor.

Many of the basic conceptshave been in the statistics literature since the 1940’s. However, NPCI methodsdid not see widespread application until the early 1980’s because the necessarycomputing power was not available. With the advent of cheap and easy-to-usecomputers, computer intensive methods for realistic data sets became possible.The

In fact, there is no needto use any of the numerical methods covered by the textbook. Students may use a plottingpackage to solve it graphically. They may perform a manual search by punching numbers into apocket calculator. They may find a canned routine that generates the root(s) without requiringany thought at all.In the gear shifting problem, choice of root finding technique is critically important. Forexample, any technique that requires a derivative is doomed to fail: differentiation of discretelysampled data is inherently noisy. Furthermore, students need a technique

The regularly used technical skills are committed to memory and external information resources are not needed in these cases. More complex problems and problems with multiple possible solution paths for which they have to evaluate the quality of the different solution paths will create difficulties for the individual.

, engineering undergraduate studentsfeel uncomfortable with EM and shy away from it. The omnipresence of desktopcomputers gives students the feeling that a course which is not oriented towards computeruse is an obsolete one. Observing these difficulties, more and more teachers aim to usecomputers to assist teaching of electromagnetics. This trend started in the early 80's,when development and use of educational software running on PC's began in severalareas of electric and computer engineering curricula, including electromagnetics [1-3, 6,9-11, 16]. Several papers were published in the literature on how to present and introduceelectromagnetics to students and how to use computers in that process.

We havetried using both the moving average model and the savings account model in the classroom and,while the vast majority of the discussions are identical, there is considerably more student interestin the savings account discussions.We encourage educators to try this somewhat unconventional example as a first introduction in acourse such as discrete-time signals and systems (DTSS) or digital signal processing (DSP).References[1] S.
