The course relies heavily on open source software such as Linux, Python, Java, Android, cross-platform Mobile Development PhoneGap (Cordova), Web Development Technologies (HTML, JavaScript, CCS, php, for example), MySQL, and Apache Web ServerCourse Design ObjectivesThe course goal is to prepare the students to create value, innovate, and roll out creativeapplication prototypes in a small, nimble and entrepreneurial work environment. The course hasbeen designed to meet the following objectives: • to expose under-skilled students to basic networking, computing and software development technologies and tools and important trending; • to form highly motivated and diverse team(s) that are effective

Figure 5: Example Problem Involving Electric Circuits Page 24.1391.8After an introduction to Nodal Analysis and Mesh Analysis to give the students an idea wherethe equations are coming from, the focus is shifted to competency in solving the resultingequation(s). Particularly with Nodal, the student needs to be comfortable in dealing withfractions and finding a common denominator. After simplifying, the remaining equation is linear.Solving for , the result is 12 V. This can be validated using PSPICE, which can serve as agood technology application if the class is able to access this program (Figure 6). Figure
