experience. He includedmechanisms for both rote learning and generalization and eventually his machine won one game against aformer Connecticut checkers champion.An important aspect of intelligence is the ability to reason logically, and it has always been a major focusof AI development. In 1955-56, Allen Newell and Herbert Simon wrote a “theorem-proving program”that portrayed the reasoning aspect of AI. At some point, a proof written by the theorem-proving programwas more elegant than the proof given in the books. In 1969, man landed on the moon surface because of the calculations made by series of computers thatwere used in the space programs. In the year 1997, IBM 's Deep Blue computer made history when itbecame the first digital computer to win

technology must practically considerprerequisites in mathematics for the students so that any new prerequisites other than the onesalready required by the electrical engineering technology program.It becomes necessary for the instructors to carefully assess each topic covered in the course andimplement a teaching strategy that only utilizes the practical level of math and physics. Thepracticality must come from the understanding of how the topic is being utilized and practiced inthe field to avoid any unnecessary complexity. Running a pilot course before the final courseimplementation can help assess and adjust to the proper level of prerequisites. For example, withtwo-port S-parameters, it is more important to understand the physical meanings of
