approach in a high school setting would develop his/herdesign mindset readily when compared to problems provided in a traditional textbook. Forexample, take the basketball throwing example in Chapter 3 of Coletta (Physics FundamentalsPhysics Curriculum & Instruction; 2nd edition 2010)) and ask how to launch a food packageonto a third floor balcony in a street flooding situation. A displayed trend on a graph of locationversus angle or speed would demonstrate an understanding of the projectile motion knowledge.A subsequent imposition of a constraint on the food delivery boat such as oscillatory water levelwould require an iterated design with some appropriate assumptions. Another example would bethe L-shape arm bio-mechanical model where a

engineering course forfreshman students majoring in the AAS degree program in Electromechanical EngineeringTechnology (EMT) offered by the Computer Engineering Technology (CET) department at NewYork City College of Technology. This course includes both lecture and laboratory components.The lecture portion of the course introduces the physical basis and mathematical models ofelectrical components and circuits. Topics include Ohm’s Law, Watt’s Law, resistance, series,parallel, and series-parallel circuits, network theorems, Thevenin equivalent circuits, capacitiveand inductive circuits, and sinusoidal ac inputs. The lab portion of the course is performed on abreadboard using the digital multi-meter, oscilloscope and function generator. According to
