, particularly in extended uses of CAS-based instruction into laboratories,via simulation, visualization and modeling tools. Traditionally, educators are using dedicatedsoftware packages to demonstrate the practical theory applications. These are efficient andsuitable to solve a large variety of engineering problems. The students learn programminglanguage and its capabilities to use them for homeworks or projects. There are such computer-based tools available for teaching electrical machines, power system analysis, power electronicsor other engineering topics. However, they are specific and confined to dedicated objectives,often lacking the interactivity, and become obsolete once the operating environment is changed5-8 . When dedicated programs are

What may appear to be an unusual struggle withfundamental courses (e.g., math, physics and chemistry), along with the missing linkage ofSTEM practice, results in students’ losing motivation before they experience core curricula(typically at the junior/senior level) that are more directly connected to the subject of theirchoice. In contrast, by engaging in hands-on problem solving, undergraduate students experiencea shift from passive to active learning [21]–[23], improve their design and laboratory skills [24]–[27], ultimately resulting in improved confidence and interest in STEM courses and careers [28].More precisely, for first-year students, hands-on engineering courses retention rates have

Furthermore, engineers also need to be able to work in teams and across disciplines22.Both of these degree programs presented in this paper follow these best practices in engineeringeducation but ACEEES does it to a greater degree in
