gaming environmentsAbstractStudents working on hands on projects have a unique opportunity to exercise and learnengineering skills outside of what they learn in the classroom. However, students also needprofessional skills, or soft skills, that allow them to work effectively on their projects in a teamenvironment. Unfortunately, these skills are often overlooked in the students’ core classes andstudents are usually unfamiliar with these skills. Not having these skills in a project basedprogram can lead to negative outcomes for the students. New technology is rapidly changing, andnew techniques that can be used to teach engineering students these valuable skills have becomeeasier to obtain. Advancements in virtual reality (VR) and augmented
, and even distributed learning. Course content developmentcan be a daunting and time consuming task for many engineering faculty. Making a gradualchange from their current mode of delivery might be most comfortable and beneficial. Theauthors will discuss their experiences and lessons learned in moving from using a blackboard,transparencies made using WORD, and computer projection of PowerPoint to using a Tablet PC.We hope that this work will be helpful to other engineering educators as they strive to improvetheir teaching effectiveness. A Tablet PC is not a substitute for effective teaching. However, itmight serve as a useful tool for our current students who are comfortable with technology andexpect it to be part of their daily

engineering instructor interviews and class observationsconclude.Student interviews consist of two question types. The first is a group of open-ended questionsabout the role of technology in their mathematics and engineering experience, perceptions ofapplicability of tools across disciplines, and perceptions of preparedness for computing inengineering. The second question type follows the posing of four differential equation problemscenarios of graduated complexity and level of engineering context. Problems were assembledwith the aid of three experienced DE instructors at two of the participant universities.
