This paper describes how the new dynamicinteractivity language in addition to standard features built into Mathematica are being used in teaching selected sophomore andsenior undergraduate electrical engineering classes at the University of Southern Maine. It describes how several typical problemsencountered in integrating advanced computational systems into an undergraduate curriculum have been addressed. Particularattention will be paid to the creation and classroom use of demonstrations illustrating some core ideas such as convolution, filtering,and frequency response.IntroductionRecent advances in software technology in Mathematica, a leading mathematical software system from Wolfram

For the Fall 2015semester, the class was transformed to utilize microprocessors and focus on hardware limitations.The transformation was done for primarily two reasons. 1) To advance the course’s curriculum.2) Improve student retention.Every day we interact with and are surrounded by embedded systems. From cars to microwaves,they have become an integral part of everyday life. It’s no surprise then that the area ofembedded system design has grown tremendously in the past few years [1]. More graduates areworking with microprocessors as a result of the growing embedded systems field and wouldbenefit from working with them and coding during their undergraduate coursework. Therefore, itwas decided that the courses’ new focus would be centered

Orientation at MSUOne of the major applications of electrical circuits in the ME curriculum was found to be in theirlaboratories. When conducting an experiment, the majority of the instrumentation and datarecording relies on a knowledge of electrical circuits. The ME department at MSU offers asequence of three laboratories, which are taken starting toward the end of the ME curriculum. Itincludes: ME3701 Experimental Orientation (EO), ME4721 Experimental Technique I (ET1),and ME4731 Experimental Technique II (ET2). The laboratories are intended to provide ahands-on environment to reinforce concepts learned in other courses, including those outside theME home department. ME3701 (EO) gives the students an introduction to the use ofinstrumentation for

The course is not designed to teach additional technical content,but rather to give students opportunities to integrate the content learned across other courses intoa single project. Because of this, students are required to have two engineering scienceprerequisite courses completed before taking the course, an introductory controls systems courseand a microcontrollers course. In our curriculum, SEED Lab replaced another requiredmultidisciplinary discrete experiments-based laboratory course which had less intensivetechnical learning objectives and lacked an explicit emphasis on intradisciplinary systemsintegration.

This means that we will have to rely on individual courses inthe junior year to carry on the development of student skills and abilities. For the second goal,we decided to use advanced IoT-ready microcontrollers as a standard tool.
