student has mastered the mathematics to the point that the “bigpicture” can be seen. In fact, many students learn the equations quite well, but neverreach the point of truly understanding the principles illustrated by those equations.A major goal of the CEE initiative is the development of courseware, and, in particular,software that allows students to gain an initial intuition about a core ECE topic inconjunction with the presentation of the equations. Thus, as they struggle with the oftencomplex mathematics underlying that topic, they have the advantage of understanding Page 4.351.1how those mathematics fit into the system as a whole.The one-on-one

Except for the first quiz, given onthe second day of class, quizzes focused on material presented at least two class periods earlier.This two-day delay for quizzing allowed each student the opportunity to master the materialbefore being quizzed on it. A typical quiz consisted of two questions. The first question coveredrecently presented material. The second question addressed material that could have beencovered as early as the first day of class. Thus, each student was required to learn the newmaterial in a timely manner.

In general, these students arerequired to take the undergraduate core and mathematics courses before they canparticipate in a graduate engineering program. Although some undergraduate coursework is still necessary, transition courses that provide students with experimentalexperiences and theoretical background can serve to enhance learning and shorten thetime required to complete a Master of Science degree in engineering

last few years, a significant effort has been taken to restructure the system of study atthe Faculty. Students admitted before 1994 have followed the traditional pattern of university-level engineering education in Poland, i.e., they have pursued a five-year program leading to adegree equivalent to the Master of Science (Master of Engineering) in the selected field ofengineering3,4. With the beginning of the academic year 1994/95, a new system of study wasintroduced. In what follows, we briefly describe those features of the system that mostsignificantly contribute to its flexibility. A more detailed description of the system of study at ourFaculty can be found elsewhere8,11,12,13,19,20.The general structure of the studies is shown in Fig. 1

The new analysis of Cauchyand the new definition of functions called for clear descriptions of the domain and range of thefunctions. But for the algebraic functions of calculus the domains are relatively simple,excluding the isolated zeroes that occur in the denominator and the “excluded intervals”, whichoccur when taking an even root of a negative value.Euler, being unencumbered by the “monstrosities” developed during the 19th century, could relyon his intuition to develop into “the master of us all.” However, the ingenious examples andtechniques invented during the 19th century led mathematicians to distrust Euler’s intuition andvisualizations.

Outof his interest for doing things better, the idea of an index for the engineering literature was born.Norman F. Koch8, in his short biography of J. B.

Here, we extend thisproposition to design techniques across all stages of the design process, using the followingscale to reflect the level required for their mastery: • Level 1 = very easy to master • Level 2 = easy to master • Level 3 = mid-level difficulty to master • Level 4 = hard to master • Level 5 = very hard to master.The same selection of 24 techniques that appeared in Table 2 will be mapped according tothis level metric below (see Table 3), after we have discussed the classification of
