department to engineering physics students fora long time. Previously, our microcontroller course centered on Intel 8086 chips and the ISAbuses. Students learned 8086 assembly language and how to interface a PC with the externalworld via the ISA buses through various peripheral devices, including timers, RS232 serial ports,and interrupt subroutines. Software coding and debugging were performed under DOSenvironment using command-line instructions. Obviously the content of this course had stayedin the 1980’s and had not evolved with new generations of hardware and software. During ourdepartment’s internal curriculum review process for our 2006 ABET accreditation visit, wereached consensus that this course needed major revision to reflect the current

finalvelocity was a maximum at the point of impact with the water (and could be calculated using the constant acceleration equations ifthe falling distance or falling time was known).In physics, the term momentum (a vector) is used to describe “mass in motion.” Momentum can be found from: p = m × v,with units of kg-m/s. This looks a lot like a Newton, doesn’t it? We know that 1 N is equivalent to 1 kg-m/s2. Read on to see theconnection … When the eggs fell, their momentum changed from a zero initial value (pi = 0) to some final value (pf). Again, wecould calculate vf if we knew the falling distance or time. We could write this change in momentum as

Basic computational tools and routines, including the ones fordifferential equations, spectral analysis, and matrix operations, are dealt with throughrelevant examples, and more advanced topics are treated. The broad categories ofcomputational physics studied are simulation, visualization and modeling, numericalmethods, algorithms and data analysis. Simulation and modeling are taught by stressingnumerical techniques and programming language(s) techniques employed. Besideslearning how to solve numerical problems with a computer, the student also will gainexperience writing manuscripts in a scientific journal

However, the benefits of the reportedexperiment greatly outweighed the challenges introduced by the method.
