Engineering students see their signals (voltages and current functions oftime) on oscilloscopes. Civil and mechanical engineering students visualize in their minds,loading, shear and moment diagrams in order to predict deflections. Freebody diagrams areessential to the solution of statics problems. It is wrong to deny engineering students theadvantages of visualizing math functions in their math courses. But the Dirichlet function andthe other “monstrous” functions that scared the 19th century mathematicians cannot bevisualized. Limit the first course in calculus to the piece-wise continuous and monotonicfunctions that the engineering students need and are able to visualize. Let us concede it isunsound to teach everything all at once and let these

think first for the teachers, they want to teach children from K-12 about science research and engineering…So, they are trying to bring teachers over here so they can take the experience to the classroom…to expand the amount of people who are exposed to science in the high schools, elementary schools, and middle schools to get them more interested in research and science. So that when they go to college, its in their minds. As far as the students, it's for, to open the idea of entrepreneurship, innovations and different types of collaborations that we haven't done in diverse engineering research applications. This is a way, a place where we can sort of dip our toes into different things. I'm

The paper willpresent the results of this and several other projects designed and developed under the NSF CCLIgrant and discuss the students’ changing attitudes to electromagnetics.Introduction “Electromagnetics is hard.” This is probably one of the most common first thoughts thatcome to mind whenever electromagnetics (EM) is invoked. The real meaning of this phrase isoften even more discouraging: EM is widely believed to be overly theoretical, unintuitive and alittle irrelevant in today’s engineering world. And this is, typically, an opinion of a person who issomewhat familiar with EM, e.g. a graduate engineering student who took electromagneticsduring their junior or
