working towards incorporating writing assignments that enhance students’ critical thinking capabilities. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019Abstract In this paper, the author stresses the importance of certain sophisticated mathematicaltechniques that undergraduate students utilize to analyze and solve a certain specific engineeringproblem such as the design of a Suspension Bridge or the construction of a High VoltageTransmission Tower. The importance of a fourth order Runge Kutta Algorithm technique, theneed for Newton Raphson Method and the properties of a Catenary Curve are stressed in thissenior level engineering technology course. The Runge Kutta technique is utilized to solve adesign

successfully used in many disciplines, including CS. Peer instructionincludes both pre-work and a sequence of activities conducted during class. The in-classactivities are a mini-lecture by the instructor, solo voting on a multiple choice question, groupdiscussion, group voting, and then an instructor-led class discussion. Zingaro et al. (2013)investigate the role of pre-class preparatory work, specifically the reading quiz assigned tostudents to complete prior to class. The reading quiz has 2-3 questions based on content andone open-response question asking about areas of confusion, difficulty, or interest. The contentquestions are graded in 4 categories: blank, incomplete, complete but incorrect, and correct.The authors noted a submission rate of

emphasizes learning withoutthe burden of assignments and without assessment through intimidating exams and tests unlike atraditional classroom environment. Oliveira adopted active learning approaches to encourageactive learning and engagement among students in face-to-face electrical engineering technologycourses. The assessment results demonstrated that the active learning strategies havesuccessfully met the teaching requirements (Oliveira, 2015). Cooperative learning activitiespromote peer interaction and assist the development of engineering course in terms of betterlearning of concepts and content. Akili developed a cooperative learning method in a large-scaleengineering education, in which the cooperative learning has been proven to be

They noted that subnetting was not covered in enoughdetail for student to understand their basics.Students need to be able to work through practical networking scenarios relying on their grasp ofnetwork fundamentals, perform suitable calculations and device configurations referring to textand online resources along with communicate their ideas to peers in an effective way. Often theextensive calculations required for setting up sub networks and advanced topics such as variablelength subnet masking, super networks, or the use of client-server configurations, can be difficultto
