Subsequent reformsaddressed this confusion through the incremental presentation of addressing modes in a mannerthat permits students to master these concepts sequentially rather than concurrently.Expressions-first ApproachThe course begins with a brief review of Boolean signed and unsigned arithmetic, which isfollowed by an introduction to variable declarations and expression syntax in C, focusing onsimilarities with Java. Our course utilizes Texas Instruments’ MSP430 processor, which has an“absolute” direct addressing mode that can be used for both source and destination operands, andpermits, for the purposes of these early exercises, all variables (and even constants) to bestatically stored at fixed addresses in memory

To keep the material manageable and interesting, it wasalso decided to design the modules so each one would last between 10 to 15 minutes.The initial phase of the program included the development of a core set of presentation materials byexperts in Six Sigma training. PowerPoint© was the primary software tool used to generate a scriptfor these instructional materials. The notes section of each slide was utilized to create a monologuethat would be used throughout the development process to support both professional narration andclosed-captioning in order to broaden the prospective audience for the course.

Opportunity #4: Another opportunity at our doorstep is the ability to make lecture presentation materials, as well supple-mentary course materials (both audio and visual), interactively accessible by students outside of class — in ahierarchical, cross-indexed fashion. Possible Pitfalls: Anyone who has attempted to create multimedia tools (or even Web pages) is well aware of thesignificant learning curve associated with most authoring tools. And since so many different possibilities existfor organizing databases of visual and audio materials (a de facto standard is yet to emerge), it is difficult todecide which authoring tool(s) one should (attempt to) master.

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN A primary goal from the outset was to provide a graphical user interface similar to those currently foundin windows based programs. One way in which this was to be achieved, was to provide the process of pointingand clicking at the option the user wishes to execute. In addition, it was also desirable to provide a convenientmeans (and some sort of guidance to the user) of moving through the various options in the program.

This second course, Calculus Applications in Physics (CAP),emphasizes problem-solving skills. The three sides of basic engineering – mathematical tools,scientific concepts, and problem-solving skills – are developed coincidentally. Certainly,problem-solving skills cannot be mastered without some understanding of the mathematics andscientific theories involved, but the ability to apply those tools and concepts drives the interest inlearning more, and advancing further.The developmental layout of
